Maday is a prolific, bilingual art educator devoted to sustainability and the transformative power of textiles. A published artist, author, and speaker based in the Midwest, she is committed to bringing innovation and artistry to the forefront of every piece she creates. Her mission is to nurture artistic platforms across cultures and generations, fostering meaningful creative work while actively seeking ways to minimize our environmental footprint.

Deeply inspired by cultural textile traditions and the powerful stories they carry, Maday believes in learning from the past while shaping a more sustainable future. She unites students of varying skill levels and backgrounds, sharing her love of vibrant textiles through techniques that include painting, weaving, hand-stitching (her favorite), machine sewing, and embroidery.

Her work pays homage to her Cuban upbringing and celebrates the art of collage and storytelling with both new and pre-loved fabrics. By favoring up-cycled materials and fabric scraps, she honors the environment and raises awareness about how our interaction with textiles impacts water usage, waste, and pollution.
