Serena Kovalosky’s interdisciplinary artwork explores multiculturalism, immigration and human relationships through the language of plants. The roots of this work began in 2003 with “The Seed that Grows,” a labyrinth installation and Three Sisters planting project in Montreal and upstate New York. Since then she created an “Agriculture to Art” exhibit for the New York Farm Bureau; installed “Gourd Spirits Dancing” at the Slate Valley Museum; presented “Rosebeads, Rose Stories & Legends” to the American Rose Society, created a site-specific gourd installation commissioned by the Georgi Museum; and produced “The White Mulberry Project: A Silk Road Runs Through It” in her neighborhood Eco-Garden for which she was awarded a Rural and Traditional Arts Fellowship. She was the 2024 Artist-in-Residence at the Slate Valley Museum in an eight-month live open studio to produce “Moving Mountains: The Mustard Seed Project.” Kovalosky is the founder of Artful Vagabond Productions. She curated Yukon artists for an issue of “Explore Art” magazine; produced and curated the “Slate as Muse” national exhibition at the Slate Valley Museum; produced an online 365 Days Project with interviews of artists around the world.
