Maysha Mohamedi received a Bachelor of Science in 2002 from the University of California, San Diego, where she studied cognitive science, specialising in neuroscience, and she earned a Master of Fine Arts in painting from the California College of the Arts in San Francisco in 2011.
In her abstract paintings, the artist meditates on selfhood and consciousness through a singular language of colour, composition, and mark-making. Mohamedi’s work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at Parrasch Heijnen Gallery, Los Angeles; Massimo De Carlo, Paris; Halsey McKay Gallery, East Hampton; and The Lodge, Los Angeles. She has also been included in group exhibitions at Blum & Poe, Los Angeles; Fourteen30 Contemporary, Portland, Oregon; and other spaces. Mohamedi lives and works in Los Angeles.
