Maria Teicher, born 1983 in New Jersey, is a fine art portrait and figurative artist residing in Philadelphia, PA. Using historic and personal symbolism, her works blend together contemporary concepts and an honest connection with those around her.
“My interests lie with the stories, experiences and emotional states of those I have a close relationship with. Using portraiture and narrative images, I explore these sincere realities through sentiment and symbolism.
In my work, historical and personal symbolic artifacts, such as braids and veils, marry the subject’s voice, how I see them and their connection to the world.
The open-ended ambiguity in my work is a call to bring one’s own experiences into each piece. This added level of communication is an important part of my work and who I am as an artist”.
Maria received her MFA in 2013. She exhibits regularly in Philadelphia, New York, and California. She recently finished her second solo show with Arch Enemy Arts Gallery in her home city. Maria is part of the BeinArt Collective.
