Bernadette Cay is an artist and writer based in Brooklyn. Bernadette’s studio practice spans painting, drawing, textile art, and installation. Through a sensitivity to texture and line, her work hopes to soften the edges of modern life. Bernadette Cay’s work has been exhibited at the SFMOMA Artists Gallery and included in group exhibitions at Printed Matter, A.I.R. Gallery, Gray Area Foundation, and Diego Rivera Gallery at the San Francisco Art Institute.
“Pressed Leaves.” is a participatory project by Bernadette that explores the themes of place (home, belonging, connection, and immigration), as well as time (the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new one). She presented her project at our Autumn Tea 2021 at East New York Farms.
