Hildy Maze (1949 – 2020) was an American artist with Turkish, Russian, and Austrian heritage. Born in Brooklyn, NY, she received a BFA from Pratt Institute. For many years Hildy lived and worked in her loft in Tribeca, NYC, before moving to East Hampton, NY, in 1984. Her work is influenced by her 25-year study and practice of Tibetan Buddhist meditation involving the recognition of the intrinsic nature of mind. Hildy’s work visually plays with how we obscure our recognition of this clear, empty awareness of mind. Ms. Maze’s work has been exhibited throughout the world, including NYC, Long Island City, Brooklyn, California, Beijing, China, and Cologne, Germany. She has won numerous awards and is in several private collections in the U.S., Europe, and Asia.
