Maia Stark is an artist of settler ancestry based out of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Treaty 6. Stark graduated with a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Saskatchewan in 2015. An invested interest in body politics throughout her BFA and MFA led to various research outlets; eventually focusing on concepts of the Grotesque and the Uncanny, specifically as those concepts are described in folktales and fairy tales. Stark's works sometimes portray a duplicated figure, a sort of slanted self portrait, pulling from her experience as an identical twin to contextualize narrative and myth.
Stark is represented by Slate Gallery in Regina, Sk.
