Estelle Maisonett is an interdisciplinary, mixed-media artist and educator born and raised in the Bronx, New York. Her work is an investigation of how personal and socio-cultural relationships to objects inform preconceived notions of identity. Through a collection of photography, printmaking, sculpture, painting, found objects, and garments, Maisonett’s life-size collages explore the creation of archives.
Maisonett received her BFA from SUNY Purchase College in 2013. She has worked with The Parsons School of Design, NYU, The New York City Housing Authority, NYC Department of Education, the Bronx Children’s Museum and among others in NYC. She was a recipient of the 2023 Barry Cohen Scholarship, 2022 Alice Kimball Travel Grant Fellowship, 2021 NewWave Artist-in-Residence, 2018 Artist in the MarketPlace Fellow at the Bronx Museum of the Arts and a 2018 BronxArtSpace Artist in Residence.
