About
Mia Pauline Hause (b. 2000) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Upstate New York. Her work utilizes oil painting and other media to explore intersections of femininity, class, and ecology. Her work is informed by museums and archives, and the role they play in forming cultural memory. Her paintings seek commonalities between the lived experiences of feminine people past and present, in order to make sense of the abject lived reality of femininity.
Hause focuses on creating claustrophobic, collapsed, and artificially real spaces that draw upon and bend customs of painting from antiquity, as well as folk art and arts and crafts movements. She received a BFA from Cornell University in 2022, and her professional work is in community arts programs in the harm reduction sphere, empowering communities and individuals impacted by the opioid crisis with the tools to use artistic expression as a means for advocacy, healing, and community building.
