About Maya Schueller Elmes

I am an artist specialising in drawing and printmaking from London, UK. I am currently living in Vancouver, Canada - exploring a completely new city and it's art scene has been an amazing experience.Since moving to Canada, I have been able to push myself to work more within my specialisms - teaching printmaking, photography and visual arts at a number of studios and art schools. I have particularly enjoyed my work in more of a hands on, technical capacity; whether that's guiding university students through the film development process, or mentoring curious printmakers of varying knowledge levels at Malaspina Printmakers Society. I was artist in residence in the print studio at Central St Martins, London from 2015 - 2017, which gave me the opportunity to develop my practice within my printmaking specialism. This enabled me to take on work as a Cover Print Technician at Central St Martins, which fulfilled a huge dream of mine.
