Maryann Mccabe

I am an artist steeped in the portrait. Vacillating between the study of music and art, I pursued music only to put off my study of art. I applied and was accepted to art school in Massachusetts, the first time with a scholarship, twice.

I am interested in the face in a variety of media and when I haven't time, exercises in collage, which keep me sane and in the game. I am a university professor in music, but for twenty years was a high school teacher in NYC in music and visual art.
A new preoccupation is my interest in spaces that have been inhabited. I like to add my own imaginative touches to such spaces to lull the impact of loss.

I received my BA cum laude from Barnard College in music and German, MA in voice and historical musicology from the University of Toronto. I completed a PhD in musicology from New York University, Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, with an interest in women in composition and twentieth-century music. Lastly, I completed a BA in art education from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania.
