Not To Be Forgotten Artwork

Born in Nebraska, USA Lives and works in Michigan, USA Maureen Nollette utilizes the fundamental elements of art to signify diverse aspects of contemporary life, converging, overlapping, and binding. Her investigation uses ordinary objects such as flattened, recycled boxes as patterns, layering arrangements with a network of lines and shapes. She constructs asymmetrical compositions through the placement, scale, and hue of components, resulting in work that resembles quilts, circuitry, or maps. Nollette's work has been in exhibitions across the United States and China. Additionally, her work is part of prominent private and public collections, including the Detroit Institute of the Arts (Detroit, MI); Yves St. Laurent (New York, NY); MGM Mirage Hotel (Las Vegas, NV); J. Jill Group (Tilton, NH); and Gerald R. Ford International Airport (Grand Rapids, MI). She was awarded a 2025 Carraig-na-gCat Artists Residency in West Cork, Ireland; a 2022 Thread Artists Residency in Sinthian, Africa; and a 2016 Marble House Project Artists Residency in Dorset, VT.
