Maeve is a visual storyteller and archivist who looks to document history and stories through her art. Her work includes portraiture, landscape and still life photographs. Maeve plays with nostalgia in her art, always looking to capture the beauty and emotions of the past, and often presenting them in a modern way. Whether it be capturing childhood moments, historical landscapes, or physical spaces, Maeve’s art often looks to dichotomies and tensions to tell the stories of our lives.
