Maeve Bradley, from Alexandria, Virginia, has always enjoyed her proximity to DC, taking advantage of the free access to a wide variety of public art at the National Gallery of Art and Hirshhorn Museum. She’s had great relationships with art teachers in the public schools from after-school art programs in Elementary School to the art department at T.C. Williams H.S. In high school, she participated in the Friends of the Torpedo Factory Mentorship program where she worked with a painter for her junior year, and helped install a show of a few of her pieces for the National Art Honor Society with her classmates at the Del Ray Artisans gallery. Always partial to pen and ink drawings and ceramics, at UVA she’s pursuing an interest in photography and digital media. Maeve is a double major in Studio Art and American Studies with a concentration in Popular and Visual Culture, interested in a variety of media types from music and visual albums to film and photography. She’s excited to expand her involvement in the arts community and to have the opportunity to work on collaborative mixed media projects.
