Artist talk and opening reception for "Kendra Frorup: Healing Properties"
In "Healing Properties," Kendra Frorup explores memory, healing and identity through prints and sculptures created around her 2024–2025 Fulbright Fellowship in the Bahamas. Inspired by her family’s bush farm—land first cultivated by her mother through a government lease-to-own program—Frorup documents the plants and traditions of bush medicine, a practice rooted in resilience and care. Bordering the Bonefish Pond National Park, the farm becomes a site of remembrance and renewal, reflecting her family’s history with cancer and her own journey of recovery. Transforming collected and natural materials, Frorup turns the act of making into an act of healing.
Kendra Frorup is an Assistant Professor of Art and Design at the University of Tampa. She received her MFA in Sculpture from Syracuse University in 1996 and has widely exhibited both nationally and internationally.
