Artist Bio: Margaret Adachi is a sculptor and installation artist. Born and educated in Southern California, she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology from Pitzer College and an MFA in Visual Art from Claremont Graduate University. Margaret’s longtime artistic interests are nature and wildlife. This new show at the Exploration Center combines her passions for protecting the environment and making art, and helps her stay connected to the otters and this region despite being based further away. When she’s not in her studio, Margaret can often be found watching Ivy and Selka on the Monterey Bay Aquarium's otter cameras.
