ARTIST STATEMENT
Mael Cabarrus is a Filipino-American multidisiplinary self-taught artist based in Maywood, Illinois. Her formal education consists of a Bachelor’s degree in Performing Arts at UIC and a Master’s degree in Education at Roosevelt University. Mael’s visual art training was attained by nagging curiosity, trial, and error. She is an Army Veteran and continues to serve the veteran community spreading the word about the healing properties of art. During her 9-to-5 employment, Mael quietly explored art at her own pace with an occassional festival or art contest submission, publicly offering recent projects. She has been commissioned for her highly-textured pet painting service called Petina Painting since 2016. No longer punching the clock, Mael is excited to explore her possibilities in the art world.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
I am excited to make my art gallery debut at Woman Made Gallery. I strive to create pieces with meaning and significance to the world around me. I value the serendipitous moments that spark inspiration that ultimately lead to finished pieces.
