Nicole Maynard is originally from Boston, Massachusetts, where she earned a BFA with majors in Painting and Art Education from Massachusetts College of Art and Design. She holds an MFA in Painting from the University of Pennsylvania. Her exhibition history includes numerous solo and group exhibitions held in venues throughout the Northeast and Miami.
Investigating social art and participatory art led Maynard to develop a fascination with the interactive nature of games. Games combine player psychology, physical components manipulated spatially in real-time, graphic design, historical and cultural connections, and tactical game mechanisms. Maynard is creating playable games as an art form in addition to her paintings and works on paper. She currently lives in New Jersey between Philadelphia and New York City.
