Mary Alice Orito’s art and design practice includes mixed media,collage and a background of clothing and costume design in NYC’s garment industry, music videos, and TV costume design. She is a graduate of Parsons School of Design and New York University School of Social Work. Parallel to her art practice of over 20 years, she had a decades old private psychotherapy practice. Aware of the waste in all our lives, Orito began saving the cut black construction paper she used in the last few years. This exhibition ‘bits-n-pieces’ at Ceres Gallery focuses on the cut pieces of prior exhibitions.
