MAYBE I’M DOING IT WRONG brings together artists that deal with finding out how their work is useful in the world where when self-awareness and self-doubt exist at the same time. These works can be simultaneously decisive and disjointed; generative and critical. In the attempt to communicate things uncomfortable and unknown, they expose our own goofy, dark, bland, and mysterious human patterns.
Elizabeth Bonaventura was born in Long Island, New York and received a BFA at Moore College of Art, in Philadelphia and an MFA from Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey. In 2012, she received a NYFA grant in Painting.
