About

American, b. 1979   —   MaryKate Maher is a visual artist from Brooklyn, NY. She works in both sculpture and collage. Her practice is rooted in an enduring interest in landscape, geological phenomenon, and improvised forms of site-markings. Throughout her works gradients play with the viewer’s sense of volume and dimension, and the repetition of specific forms create a unique visual grammar.

Maher has received fellowships from Franconia Sculpture Park, New York Foundation for the Arts, The MacDowell Colony, Yaddo, A.I.R. Gallery and Socrates Sculpture Park.
