Maria Muller was born in Karlsruhe, Germany, and was raised in Canada and Wisconsin. She now lives near Boston where she works as a fine art photographer, does custom black and white printing, and makes artist books. Since 1982, her artwork has been featured in numerous group and solo exhibitions.
Muller, who is self taught, began photographing in the early 1970s. She now works exclusively with black and white infrared film and hand-paints her prints with oil paint, a combination she began using in 1980. Maria’s work is represented in numerous corporate collections and in private collections in Australia, China, Spain and the United States. Some of the public collections which include her work are the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Decordova Museum (Lincoln, Massachusetts), the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, The New York Public Library, the Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University, and the U.S. Embassy in Brussels. The Houghton Libary at Harvard University owns two of her photographic one-of-a-kind books. In 1991 Ms. Muller was awarded a fellowship by the Massachusetts Artists Foundation.
Maria is represented by the Pucker Gallery in Boston and Images.com, a fine art photographic agency in New York. Her work has been included in five volumes published by Graphis, Inc., New York, N.Y., as well as Communication Arts, Photography Annual 37, Photodistrict News, Photo/Design Supplement, and M.I.T.’s Technology Review.
