About the artists
This evening is a preview party for Problem Library’s participation in the citywide SF Open Studios weekend. The group show was curated and organized by Sofia Criswell (an alumni of The School of Other Fields) and long-time arts educator Megan Broughton. The two artists invited two more artists to join them: Jayne Foster and Regina Stadnik.

Megan Broughton is a multidisciplinary artist based in San Francisco, CA, addressing the climate crisis, loss, transformation, and the sublime. She uses ice, fog, and air currents to underline our daily environments at risk. Her work stems from onsite study in the Arctic, whose materiality shapes and influences her practice.
Sofia Criswell is a multidisciplinary artist currently based in San Francisco, with a background in design, curriculum development, and cultural organizing.
Jayne Foster work typically embraces strong colours, evocative forms and often conflicting elements of pattern and texture to create unique interpretive compositions.
Regina Stadnik uses the soft tactile quality of quilts to explore the themes of shelter and security. Her work, often in muted colors, depicts interiors and cityscapes imbued with longing and hope.
