María Sánchez is a designer, educator, filmmaker, and multimedia artist. Her work is an investigation based on the process of transmitting both the presence and absence of my body through technological devices and natural materials. Using multiple mediums such as digital video, sculpture, performance, and installation, she is exploring the semiotics of her body, whether on the basis of identity, gender, ethnicity or spirituality.
Sánchez has a Graphic Design BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art and is a MFA Candidate for the Intermedia and Digital Arts program at UMBC. She is working as the Communication Team Researcher at the Imaging Research Center and as the IMDA Assistant for UMBC. She was Adjunct Faculty in the Graphic Design department at MICA in 2023.
