Brooke Toczylowski (b. 1981, Pittsfield, Massachusetts), grew up in New England and as an adult has lived in Venezuela, Guatemala, New York City, and Oakland, California. She currently resides on Sicaog and Wangunk land in central Connecticut. She has been awarded two Artist Respond grants from the Connecticut Office of the Arts and has participated in artist residencies at Walkaway House, Millay Arts, In Cahoots, Loomis Chaffee, the Kala Art Institute, and more. Among others, her work has been shown at Five Points Arts Gallery, Installation Space, Gallery RAG, Anonymous Society Gallery, the Cambridge Art Association, and the Kala Art Institute. Toczylowski earned her BA in Studio Art and American Studies from Williams College and recently completed her Masters of Fine Arts at Clark University; her thesis show took place at MASS MoCA in January, 2025. Toczylowski is a multidisciplinary, research-based artist whose work investigates our ecological, historical, and socio-political relationships to land. Working across painting, printmaking, performance, and installation, they collaborate with plants like red amaranth to question control, resilience, and sentience. Their recent works—formed through natural inks and monotypes of garden fencing—serve as contemplative offerings that hold space for grief, regeneration, and the complexities of belonging.
