Kerry Cottle @kerrycottle, a 2022 graduate of the Kerry Cottle @kerrycottle, a 2022 graduate of the University of New Mexico’s Art MFA program, practice is grounded in material experimentation, abstraction, and sustainability. From Sacramento to Los Angeles, her work is gaining recognition on the West Coast, including her participation in the group exhibition "Mental Ecologies". “I often work very intuitively,” Cottle said. “The material leads me, but there’s also a lot of pre-dreaming, sitting with ideas, letting them incubate, and weaving them together as the work develops.” Her evolving material practice highlights the impact of UNM’s MFA program in supporting artists beyond graduation. Apply to the UNM Art MFA program; the deadline is January 15, 2026.
