Artist Biography
Maureen McCabe (b. 1947, Quincy, MA) is a celebrated collage artist, whose playful yet carefully composed assemblages weave imagery from ancient and current cultures, together with aspects of folklore, magic, myth, and the unexplained.

She has exhibited her work in museums in the United States and Mexico and was the subject of a major retrospective at the Bellevue Arts Museum (WA) in 2006. McCabe received her BFA from Rhode Island School of Design and MFA from the Cranbrook Academy of Art before teaching for four decades at Connecticut College, where she was recognized with a John S. King Faculty Teaching Award and retired as the Joanne Toor Cummings ’50 Professor of Studio Art. McCabe has had residencies in the U.S. at Yaddo and MacDowell, and in Italy at the Rockefeller Foundation in Bellagio and the American Academy of Rome. She lives and works in Quaker Hill, Connecticut.
