Maureen Da Silva - Artist/Educator


Maureen Da Silva (she/her) is a Tkaronto/Toronto-based printmaker and artist.  She primarily works in silk screen, lithography and relief, with forays into bookbinding. She has taken her love of print into the co-founding of the not-for-profit artist group, The inPrint Collective, of which she is the Studio Manager. Through this collective, Maureen has been proud to showcase work and/or develop community programs for  NuitBlanche (2012), Cultural Hotspots (2016 - 2022), CONTACT Festival (2022) and more.  A 2008 graduate of York University’s B.F.A program, Maureen has also completed her Masters of Arts at the University of Toronto (2009), as well as her Certificate in Museum Studies from the Ontario Museum Association (2013). Her research in her Women and Gender Studies Master’s program focused on the politics of inclusion within feminist art collectives, an interest which brought Maureen into the Feminist Art Collective (FAC). Maureen's work sometimes plays with pop culture, as well as experiments in patterns and collage within a print framework.  She also embraces learning curves in her practice, working within the possibilities of regeneration in the face of failure. Her own practice in feminism, community and printmaking, has inspired Maureen to a lifetime of creativity, non-stop learning and sharing.

Upcoming Workshops

Tetrapak Drypoint Weekend 
Saturday, June 28 AND Sunday June 29, 2025
11am to 3pm
$200 plus tax
REGISTER HERE

​Spend the weekend with inPrint exploring accessible drypoint printing techniques! Upcycling tetrapak from our groceries, we will spend the weekend learning how to make a tetrapak plate, which has quick prep times and is easier on the hands than plexi glass or metal. We will also play with pochoir and chine colle techniques, using our table top press alongside our army of mini 3D-printed presses from the Open Press Project! Participants will leave with a small array of experimental prints.
No experience necessary. All materials included in price. Allergy note: we will be using Akua (soy) based inks.​
