Palimpsests + Memories: The Student to The Teacher

This evocative exhibition honors the teachers who shape lives one day at a time. Now a lecturer at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Celeste Contreras Skierski channels the hope, wisdom, and guidance she once received into her own teaching practice.

The show opens with a series of delicate pencil and ink portraits from her high school years, tracing three decades of personal growth, travel, and educational experiences. These works are layered with themes of ancestral memory and healing, reflecting Contreras’s journey as a Wisconsin-based artist.

The collection is diverse and immersive, featuring an artist’s book library, works on paper, intricate drawings, and evocative film, all weaving together stories of transformation, legacy, and the enduring bond between student and teacher.
