Event Details | HCC Visiting Artist Series presents Zofia Chamera

About the 2026 Visiting Artist - Zofia Chamera

Zofia Chamera earned her BFA in Interdisciplinary Sculpture at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in 2020 and her MFA in Studio Art from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) in 2022. Chamera’s foundation is in traditional mediums such as clay, wax, and bronze, however she began exploring handmade paper and how it can be applied to sculpture. She is constantly pushing the structural boundaries of this medium and with that challenging the conflict of fine art versus craft.

Chamera currently serves as Adjunct Faculty teaching Historic Papermaking at MICA and as a Papermaking Associate at Pyramid Atlantic Art Center, maintaining both papermaking studios. Her work has been shown in the National Sculpture Society Gallery in Manhattan, New York as well as local galleries in Baltimore, MD and Philadelphia, PA. Most notably, she was selected to participate in the Lucca Biennale Outdoor Exhibition in Tuscany, Italy and the IMADATE Art Field Residency in Echizen, Japan.
