Maggie Adams (they/them) was born in small town Missouri and raised in their father's MRI clinic, cementing a fascination with the human body at a formative age. They received their BFA in Ceramics and Fibers from Truman State University in 2021, with a minor in Art History.  After graduation, they lived as a resident artist at the Osage Arts Community in Belle, MO and spent nearly two years managing the clay studios at Access Arts--a non-profit community art school in Columbia, MO--where they deepened their love for teaching. They exhibit their artwork nationally in juried and invitational shows. 

 

Adams is currently a first-year Ceramics MFA candidate at the University of Iowa, continuing to pursue their passions for teaching and making art about queer identity through allegories of digestion and self-cannibalization.
