Vicky Rodriguez
Vicky is an artist and arts administrator with a BFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University, where she currently manages the Metals and Fibers Studios. She primarily considers herself a problem-solver, and has used her project management skills to produce educational videos and print resources, visual and written digital content, websites, and large-scale fine craft trade shows. A lover of art and a maker of things, Vicky loves applying her organizational skills to build platforms through which other artists can also thrive.
While I will always consider myself an artist, I have no interest in being an "artist." My art is capricious and hedonistic: each individual work is made as a result of a craving, and meant only to satisfy myself. When the mind forms an idea, the hands make the reality. There is no overarching concept other than that these things come from me and it made me happy to make them. Someone very smart once told me, "You choose how much you want your work to save the world," and my work only has to save me.
