Maeve Doolan is a mixed media artist and teacher whose artwork and pedagogy are
influenced by her love for learning to work with new mediums. She grew up on a small horse
farm in Connecticut and works as a residential faculty member at a private high school in
Massachusetts. She was formally trained as a painter and sculptor. She gravitates toward
traditional techniques, as well as experimentation with alternative mediums and processes such
as veneer, LED lights, and beads. In her work, she engages with the senses to talk about bodily
awareness and the benefits of being connected to one’s body. She often pulls elements from pop
culture such as air fresheners, stickers, and googly eyes, to express and reflect the time in which
she lives.
