Maryland Art Place, in partnership with Hotel Indigo Baltimore is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Maryland-based artist, Sierra Iola. The exhibition is on view at Hotel Indigo, located at 24 West Franklin St. from February 4 - March 26, 2026.  A public reception will take place on Sunday, March 1 from 1 PM to 3 PM. 

About the Artist: 

Sierra Iola is an American visual artist whose multi-media painting uses dense bold graphics to explore ubiquitous systems of modernity. She creates layered work addressing car-centricity, and isolation examining its deleterious impact on mental health, the environment and social issues. Her systematic approach to art has assisted in the foundation of research that surrounds her painting practice. 

Sierra earned her Bachelors in painting, drawing and printmaking from Towson University and plans to pursue a Master of Fine Art degree. 

Please join us on Sunday, March 1 from 1 PM to 3 PM  for a champagne reception at Hotel Indigo located at 24 West Franklin St.
