Maya Perry recently graduated from Yale University MFA Painting/Printmaking program. She spent her formative years as a drummer/singer in the experimental duo Laila and lives as a painter/performer. Her goal is to create sources of light where the internal and external can exist simultaneously and forgotten, repressed, and/or present experiences can come to the surface. Her practice oscillates from mediums and techniques such as painting to 16mm film to stop-motion animation, writing, sound, and performance. She is recently incorporating themes of looping, record-making, and recording into her practice and wishes to highlight the Neurodivergent perspective about time, space, and experience.

Maya Perry also held a free live sound performance “Protect Your Eyes” in her studio space on Sat. 23 Sept. 2023 from 4–5pm.
