“I really love making things about beauty,” says Anna Shapiro, “even if they’re not beautiful.” The founding director of Firehouse 13 has made a big dent in the local arts scene in the last few years. Between her paintings and her sculptures, she is constantly at work. “I’m always exploring the juncture of humans and nature in some way. I have an eco-feminist perspective. I’m interested in how the earth is treated, how the land is treated, and how women are treated.”
