Bobbi Mastrangelo, “The Grate Artist,” is internationally known for her unique creations based on grates, manhole, and water covers. The artist is listed in The Marquis’ “Who’s Who in American Art.” Prominent Collections are in NY Water Districts, Heckscher Museum, and Islip Art Museum, among others. Mastrangelo’s “Grate Works of Art,” were exhibited Jan 4th – Apr 23rd, 2017 at Orlando Florida’s Orange County Regional History Center to complement: “Plastics Unwrapped,” a traveling exhibit loaned from Seattle’s Burke Museum.

“Attleboro’s Grate” when spoken, reflects the pride of a marvelous community dedicated to the arts. For over three decades the artist has enjoyed the play on words for her “Grate Works of Art.” The literal view, however features a foam layer grate (drain) mounted over a canvas wrapped in Japanese “Ink Float Paper” created by papermaker Marilyn Wold. The grate is decorated with cement wash, acrylic paints, antiquing gel and a protective clear finish spray.
