Maria Seda-Reeder uses language as a bridge for critical discourse because she believes that contemporary art has the power to not only reflect the past but also inform the future.
She has covered the work of living artists for such online and print publications as UnderMain Magazine, CityBeat, Epicenter Magazine, Cincinnati Art Museum Member Magazine, Acrylic Artist, Pastel Journal, Watercolor Magazine, and Whitehot Magazine of Contemporary Art.
Her essays have likewise been published in artist books and exhibition catalogs such as Still They Persist: Protest Art of the 2017 Women’s Marches, Tracy Featherstone: Fantastical Landscapes, and Cincinnati Five.
Seda-Reeder taught at the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design Architecture Art and Planning for over a decade. She holds a BA in History, MA in Art History, and Certificate in Museum Studies. She currently serves as Director of Exhibitions & Artist Support Initiatives at Wave Pool: A contemporary art fulfillment center.
