Tenacre Art Gallery welcomes first artist of the year

Tenacre welcomed artist Sammia Atoui as its visiting artist this morning. Her work is currently being exhibited in the Tenacre Art Gallery (TAG). Sammia started the morning by hosting a community assembly to tell students about her work. She then taught an art class to sixth-grade students. Sammia is a printmaker and painter whose subject matter spans portraits, flowers, and nature. She has a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in Printmaking, an MBA from Simmons School of Management. She currently owns and operates MiraMar Print Lab, a printmaking studio in Swampscott MA with her husband, artist Adrian Rodriguez. Previous to opening MiraMar Print Lab, Sammia worked as an artist out of her home studio creating works on paper featuring figures and flora, led Satoui Designs, and held positions at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, City of Boston (Public Art), and the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce.
