Mailey McAslan: Artist Biography

Mailey McAslan is a mixed-media artist and musician based in the historic Pinewoods of Nacogdoches, the oldest town in Texas. A dropout of Stephen F. Austin State University (SFA) with a focus on Drawing and Painting, Mailey brings an academic eye transmuted to Outsider status to the beautiful, broken artifacts of the past.

Her work is a bold, visceral, and colorful conversation with life. Known for her "Eyeballz" and her ability to transform forgotten materials into provocative, high-energy art, her pieces are held in private collections across the United States, including New York City, Atlanta, Boca Raton, and Park City, Utah.

Whether working in digital media, bold acrylics, or physical recycled materials, Mailey’s art is a testament to the power of transformation. She explores the unique history of DEEP East Texas and the universal human experience of building something new from what was left behind. A dedicated creator with over a thousand video works documented on YouTube, she remains committed to the idea that beauty isn't found in the pristine, but in the grit and the courage it takes to build a world on your own terms, in your own colors.
