Artist Bio
As a professional multi-media Artist, Maya has cherished art as a valuable and empowering tool throughout her journey. As a black woman with a chronic illness, art gradually became a means of forging meaningful connections. Maya's Art was born from a desire to bring together individuals who are on their own journeys of self-discovery, to bridge gaps, and most importantly, to empower and uplift Women of Color. Maya is humbled to have been recognized as a 'Changemaker' by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, honored as a grantee of the Jordan Schnitzer Black Lives Matter Artist Grant, and a VSA Emerging Young Artist with Disabilities Awardee.
