Meet artist Maya Moretti

Hello friends,

Thanks for journeying to the depths of my art/mind. Here's a little about me and the recent things I've been making -

My recent works are deeply influenced by the human body and interpersonal connections. I am captivated by how small treasures or trash can fit together to create a sculpture or an installation. My art demands a certain chaos; the dirt and grime when working with metal, or the piles of fabric when working with textiles, give me a rush of wild freedom.

Sculpting is a way for my memories & feelings to become tangible; a way to revisit things from another perspective. By re-homing stories and memories of people in my sculptures, it lets them become physically suspended in time and space.

So, if you made it this far thank you so much for looking and witnessing the weird wild things I enjoy creating.

Origin Stories

My earliest memory making art is from preschool—working with my classmates on a giant paper mache whale. It was sticky, messy, and seemed to take forever, but I loved every second of it. When I was 10, my dad built me an art shed in the backyard. It became my little sanctuary, where I painted, played, and began to truly fall in love with creating things. Over the years my artistic expressions took many forms- I became a band geek, graduated culinary school, catered, made gourmet cakes, became a yoga teacher, a coach, a jeweler...
Until I finally found my way back to mixed media art though making little crystal bracelets a few years ago.

This photo is when it all began for me- so incredibly inspired to make art others wear and witness.

Mobiles
