Cicely Carew is a celebrated Boston-based multidisciplinary artist, educator, and mind-body facilitator whose vibrant works blur the boundaries between artistic disciplines. Born in Los Angeles, Carew earned her BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design and her MFA from Lesley Art + Design. Her highly acclaimed practice—which spans painting, sculpture, monotype printmaking, and sound—earned her the prestigious James and Audrey Foster Prize from Boston’s Institute of Contemporary Art.

Rooted in radical joy, improvisation, and collective care, Carew is renowned for transforming physical spaces into immersive, abstract ecosystems. Using unexpected materials like painted aluminum mesh, translucent plexiglass, and layered collage, she designs atmospheric public installations that function as "sacred containers" to invite reflection and wonder. Her high-profile public commissions have energized major landscapes across New England, including Google, Northeastern University, and the Prudential Center.
