Mary Zicafoose has spent the last 22 years in pursuit of visual surprise on the flat woven "rug" surface through dye processes, tapestry techniques and intriguing color play. Her tapestries and rugs span the globe from Tenaska’s corporate offices in Canada to United States Embassies on three continents. Zicafoose blends cultural icons and symbols with a contemporary hand, creating powerful visual statements in fiber. She also translates these ethno-contemporary into fine prints. The artist received her BFA from St. Mary's College, Notre Dame, Indiana, and graduate Studies include the Art Institute of Chicago and the University of Nebraska. Her work has been reviewed in publication such as The Smithsonian Magazine, The Washington Post and Fiberarts Magazine. This past year, the artist created the sculpture “wO!ven” for the O! Project, sponsored by the Bemis Center, Alegent Health and the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce.
