Pro Arts Gallery is excited to announce the third of its Hybrid Series events—blurring the traditional boundaries between artistic disciplines.

She is a former San Francisco Writer’s Grotto Fellow, and will be a 2016 Lambda Literary Fellow this summer. She is the Coordinator of Admissions and Student Services for the MFA Program in Creative Writing at Saint Mary’s College of California. She is a recipient of a Vermont Studio Center residency and her work has appeared in MARY: A Journal of New Writing, The East Bay Review, and Huizache, among others.

Louise Mathias is the author of two books of poems, Lark Apprentice, which won the New Issues Poetry Prize, and The Traps (Four Way Books), as well as a chapbook Above All Else, the Trembling Resembles a Forest, chosen by Martha Ronk for the Burnside Review Chapbook competition. Raised in England and Los Angeles, for the last seven years she has lived in Joshua Tree, California, where she drives around the Mojave taking photos and writing poems about wildflowers, desolation, sex and trash.
