About the Artist
Yvonne Maiden is a painter and installation artist living and working in Portland, Maine . Focused within a figurative practice, Maiden paints expressively with an earthy, overall subdued palette and has historically built related sculptural forms of installation . "Holding images and feelings of time and memory, I wrestle with paradigms of personal and collective mythology as I paint, sculpt and develop installation works. Themes that reoccur in my work are often related to human strengths and vulnerabilities and the psychology of everyday people".
Formally educated in the arts at the University of Michigan (1980-83), Hangzhou Academy of Fine Arts (China, 1986) and the San Francisco Art Institute (MFA, 1990) . Maiden has lived and worked in Jerusalem, Israel (1993-95) and was awarded Fellowships at the Vermont Studio Center (2007 and 2009). Maiden also attended Lesley College, Cambridge, Massachusetts (MA. 2000).
