Maiya Lea Hartman
Maiya Lea Hartman is a self-taught artist born and raised in Minneapolis, MN. Hartman’s interdisciplinary practice employs methods of drawing, painting, sculpture and installation as interwoven modalities for understanding, discovering, and uncovering memories and the way that we experience them. By merging various materials, forms and approaches, they blur the boundaries of typical media-based categories, creating hybrids and new ways of understanding bodies and identity. By incorporating fabric, hair, and objects into large-scale paintings, they grant their figures a sense of viscerality, as if they’re engaging with the physical space of the real world. Hartman is Director of Artistic Development at Public Functionary in Northeast, Minneapolis.
