biography:

Maria LaCreta paints and makes additional works in a variety of disciplines and media. She obtained her BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she studied painting as well as film, video, and sound, making experimental films and sound projects as a student in Chicago. After returning East, Maria sought a Master’s degree from nearby Cambridge, MA. There she studied clinical mental health counseling as it relates to personal, social, and relational healing, often using the arts as a means of approach. Maria has taught a variety of courses in the visual arts at a number of schools and institutions in New England, currently teaching with a program through the Boston Museum of Fine Arts called, Artful Healing. There, Maria helps assist students in hospitals by teaching the collection through art projects, and about the process of creating. She currently works out of her studio at 6 Vernon Street in Somerville.
