Maria Mathioudakis is an interdisciplinary artist inspired by the ways groups of people, animals, plants, and mushrooms try and fail and keep trying to come together, and the aesthetics they produce along the way. Her most recent work examines feminism’s intended and unintended impacts on society and individuals in the U.S. since the 1960s.
Maria received her MFA in Visual Arts at UCSD, with a thesis project focused on the aesthetics of the Federation for Feminist Women’s Health Care Centers, specifically attending to drawings produced by San Diego-based Suzanne Gage, RNC, NP, LAc. Maria also makes glass artworks as a member of the collective DIA PHANO with artists Claire Anderson and Grace Wardlaw.
Maria was born, raised, and educated in San Diego, CA.
