ABOUT ADRIANA “GIGI” MEDEROS
Gigi Mederos is thrilled to bring back her fine art pieces for a second season on the ‘Neck and to introduce Guatopo, the surface and textile designs she and Stevie Black have been creating. Over the last seven years, Mederos’ body of work has expanded to include painting, drawing, printmaking, works on paper, and hybrid works that combine some or all of these practices. As an outgrowth of Adriana Mederos Studio, she and her partner, Stevie Black, have been working together to realize their dream of developing collections of surface and textile designs. Now that Gigi’s begun painting on silk, and other textiles and surfaces, their hard work is bearing colorful fruit. This summer season, you can find Mederos at Aquatro Gallery, a lively new space on the Wharf next to Madfish Grill in Gloucester, MA.

ABOUT ROCKY NECK
Home to arguably the oldest continuous ar t colony in the Americas, Rocky Neck in Gloucester, MA was recently designated as one of Massachusetts’ first “cultural districts” along with Rockport, MA’s downtown area. The Cultural District Initiative came out of an economic stimulus bill passed by the state’s legislature in 2010. A compact, walkable area with a concentration of artist’s studios and galleries, as well as restaurants and other venues, Rocky Neck continues to merge the best of the old and the new.
