Catherine Mapp is a muralist and fiber artist with a BFA in Interdisciplinary Sculpture currently pursuing an MAT in Art Education. Mapp is currently a lead educator at the Baltimore Museum of Art and has shown her work both locally and internationally in Uruguay, Canada, England, and Hawaii. Her art explores the human experience, especially in relation to music, and how it can foster a sense of connectedness. Her involvement in the DMV electronic music scene as well as her experiences growing up in Miami have shaped her uniquely vibrant personal aesthetic. Listening to music is often the jumping-off point in the studio that induces a trance-like focus on mark-making and color layering, where the hand is directed through painting to interact with different performative mythologies (rituals) and healing practices. Her work speaks to the viewer through the symbolic language of color, memory, ancestral connection, and hieroglyphics often sourced from her Mexican, Cuban, and Guyanese heritage.
