During her residency, Wright will explore Cheekwood’s decorative arts holdings—including the museum’s porcelain collection—as well as the gardens and historic architecture of the estate. Nature, botanical forms, and historical design references often inform her compositions, which combine sculptural ceramics with painted environments that evoke frescoed interiors and decorative wall treatments. Through this approach, Wright creates installations that consider the relationship between objects, ornament, and the spaces they inhabit.
Wright received her MFA from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University in 2018 and her BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute in 2013. Her work has been exhibited at galleries and institutions across the United States and has been featured in Architectural Digest, Surface Magazine, Curbed, and Dwell, where her distinctive approach to contemporary ceramics and decorative form has drawn national attention.
The Artist-in-Residence program is made possible through the generous support of the Shallenberger family.

From August 1–9, discover a curated collection of one-of-a-kind fresh floral mannequins displayed throughout Cheekwood’s Botanic Hall, Frist Learning Center, and Historic Mansion & Museum. This stunning showcase celebrates The Gilded Age, the acclaimed drama set in late 19th-century New York, where old money and new ambition collide in a time of extraordinary social change — reimagined through spectacular floral storytelling.
Created by Nashville’s talented floral designers, each floral masterpiece interprets the series’ distinct characters and opulent style — from the bold, aspirational gowns of Bertha Russell to the refined sophistication of Agnes van Rhijn, the understated elegance of Marian Brook, and the modern perspective of Peggy Scott — inviting visitors to experience the elegance and intrigue of The Gilded Age in full bloom.

Gifted to the city nearly a century ago by James M. Cowan, this extraordinary collection reveals how American artists at the turn of the twentieth century shaped a national artistic identity. Featuring works by fifty-seven painters, many linked through shared training and artistic collaboration, the collection traces a pivotal moment in American art history.
At its heart are sweeping landscapes and luminous plein-air paintings that capture the drama, beauty, and variety of America, from lush fields and forests to dynamic coastal scenes. Together with a select group of compelling portraits, these works reflect Cowan’s bold, personal vision and his enduring belief in the power of art to tell an American story.
