Maeve D'Arcy is an abstract painter living in Queens, New York. In a contemplative, meditative process, she turns her random thoughts into dashes, x’s, dots and every other sort of repetitive mark. Working in oil on panel or ink on paper, marks accumulate and resolve into fields and forms, all of which are as arbitrary and intuitive and the thoughts that generated them. Her paintings express the passage of time in the most literal sense. They are visual records of hours spent inside one's own mind.
Visual artist Maeve D’Arcy has exhibited her work in New York, London, and Ireland. She earned her M.A. in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins in London, and a B.A. from CUNY Baccalaureate for Unique and Interdisciplinary Studies where she received the Thomas W. Smith Academic Fellowship, and the Diego Hidalgo Scholarship for the Arts. She has attended many residencies including Saltonstall, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and Yaddo. D’Arcy is the recipient of the New York Foundation for the Arts 2025 Queens Arts Fund Grant.
Maeve D'Arcy is represented by Kathryn Markel Fine Arts, with gallery locations in Chelsea, New York City - at 529 West 20th Street and 179 10th Avenue. Her work is available for purchase through the gallery and on Artsy.
