Maggie Adams

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 living in Iowa City as a second-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.
