Maureen McCabe is an internationally recognized and celebrated collagist. She pursued an M.F.A. at Cranbrook Academy of Art in the early 1970s, after receiving a B.F.A. from The Rhode Island School of Design in 1969. Following her formal art training, McCabe received a National Endowment for the Arts grant through the Renwick Gallery, as well as a Mellon Grant to conduct research for a new course at Connecticut College, “Women in Modern Art.” She completed residencies at Yaddo, an artists’ community in Saratoga Springs, NY; Cite des Arts in Paris (sponsored by Darthea Speyer of the Darthea Speyer Gallery); and the Bellagio Study and Conference Center at the Villa Serbelloni (sponsored by the Rockefeller Foundation in 1988). McCabe received the 1997-1998 John S. King Faculty Teaching Award, and was named “Joanne Toor Cummings ‘50 Professor of Studio Art” in 2001 for her work at Connecticut College, where she taught for four decades. Her retirement from teaching in 2011 was marked by an exhibition of her work, “Swan Song,” at the college’s Cummings Arts Center.
