About/Contact

Maria Lau began using photography as a means of documentation and visually writing history. Her artwork then expanded into multi-disciplinary photographic based storytelling; referencing history, memory, and dream states, while employing both traditional and digital photo techniques. Based on her Cuban-Chinese heritage, she explores themes of culture, family, oral history and shared cultural experiences. The materials used to illustrate narratives range from multi-exposure photography, collage, installation and video. Maria Lau studied Latin American history and photography at the City University of New York, and the International Center for Photography. Her work can be found in private and permanent collections.
