Claudia Maysen is a multidisciplinary artist based in North Texas. She got her Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture and graduated with honors from Monterrey Tech in Mexico, where she also trained in Drawing and Painting. Last summer she completed a residency at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, with focus on fine arts.

Maysen merges abstraction with representation to explore social issues within our communities. Having immigrated from Mexico in her adulthood, she draws inspiration from her personal experiences with injustices. By identifying parallel challenges in the United States, she dissects and addresses them through her art, fostering a thought-provoking conversation that is both enlightening and empowering.

Maysen has exhibited her work in Milwaukee, WI, at 5 Points Gallery; in Chicago, IL, at Woman Made Gallery; and in many venues in Texas, including Dallas City Hall, Arts Fort Worth, Austin Central Public Library, 500X Gallery and San Marcos Public Library. 

As a selected artist for the 2024 Texas Vignette Art Fair juried by Dallas Museum of Art curator Vivian Li, and for the 2023 edition juried by Dallas Contemporary associate curator Emily Edwards, Maysen was featured in Arts and Culture Texas, The Dallas Morning News and KERA. In 2022 she received the People’s Choice Award at the Fort Worth Biennial juried by Lilia Kudelia at Arts Fort Worth, and the 1st Place Prize and Community Favorite Award at the World AIDS Day Art Contest presented by the Tarrant County HIV Administrative Agency at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. 

Maysen also creates public art. Recent works include a street art project at the Cedars neighborhood in Dallas, a mural at the AIDS Outreach Center in Fort Worth and an art bench sculpture for the Bates Festival Street in Keller.

Committed to making a positive impact in the community through the arts, Maysen participates in advocacy, consulting and engaging activities for nonprofits. In 2024, she was a speaker at the Artistic Approaches to Preventing Gun Violence panel at the Wisconsin Emergency Gun Violence Summit, and was a lead artist for CAN’s Collaborative Community Artwork unveiled on World AIDS Day at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. In 2023, she joined the review panel for the Will Rogers Memorial Center interpretative text project at Fort Worth Public Art. And to this date, she continues her work as Art Instructor for at-risk senior citizens and organizes museum visits for them and their families.
