Megan Mulrooney is pleased to announce our representation of Los Angeles-based artist Maddy Inez. The announcement follows the artist’s 2026 debut solo exhibition with the gallery, Nascence. Inez will present a new body of work in February 2027 for the gallery’s inaugural presentation at Frieze Los Angeles.
“I am thrilled to be representing Maddy Inez, an artist whose celebrated relationship with clay prioritizes humanity’s long history with the medium,” says Mulrooney. “Throughout the past decade, Inez has developed her ceramic sculptures through analytical research into community gardening practices that investigate how gardening can be both an act of revolution and an act of resistance. Transforming this knowledge into biomorphic sculpture, Inez redefines her studio practice by telling the hidden stories of ancestral plants.”
Maddy Inez utilizes ceramics and sculpture to explore themes of healing and ancestral memory, treating clay as both a medium and a metaphor for collective trauma. Her works often evoke plants known for their healing properties or mythological significance, merging the spiritual with the ecological. This approach prompts reflection on humanity’s fragile yet powerful relationship with the natural world. Inez’s artistic practice is deeply influenced by her matrilineal heritage; her mother, Alison Saar, and grandmother, Betye Saar, are both renowned artists whose legacies of Black feminist and spiritual artmaking resonate through her work. This lineage informs Inez’s exploration of intergenerational knowledge and the transformative power of art as a means of healing and remembrance.

LAST DAY TO SEE Maddy Inez’s “Nascence”
“Nascence is a show about gardening as an act of resistance,” writes Inez. “I researched the gardens and people’s relationships to plants that have been forcibly removed or displaced from their land due to colonization. The act of choosing to have a relationship with a land after enduring so much violence is such a powerful act of resistance. The choice to plant to feed your people in an unpredictable future is a choice of hope.”

Included in Maddy Inez’s current exhibition “Nascence” are a series of ceramic wall reliefs by the artist.
Like the sculptures in the exhibition, the reliefs begin with research into a specific plant’s medicinal and cultural history. In these works Inez compresses her botanical forms into shallow planes, where petals and stems reach outward from the surfaces.
With titles like “Seer” and “Wanderer” the artist traces the history of well known seeds such as the black sesame. “My grandmother was helping me think of titles, and she kept repeating the word wanderer, thinking both in terms of the people and also the plants. It felt fitting for black sesame because it has wandered with humans for so many years. It has been carried, traded, and then protector of its people as they were stolen from their land.” - Maddy Inez
The exhibition is on view June 20th.

This piece is based on the Karkade plant, or the Sudanese hibiscus. The Sudanese people refer to the karkade as the flower that waits and remembers. She witnesses, she remembers, she heals.

Tara Anne Dalbow’s Family Style feature on Maddy’s exhibition explores the alchemic nature of the artist’s practice. “Fire Followers” thoughtfully traces the exhibition’s ties to Los Angeles in a nuanced and compelling way, telling Maddy’s story of investigative research and the importance of community and storytelling through her sculptures.

#VFCAEA spotlight: Mud Angel by @maddy_inez

“I’m honored to have a piece in the Venice Family Clinic Art Exhibition and Auction. This piece is based on penny cress and stinging nettle, two plants that help remove heavy metals in soil. I was looking at these plants while exploring the notion of healing our relationship to soil and caring for land." - Maddy Inez
Proceeds from the auction benefit @VeniceFamilyClinic, a nonprofit health clinic that provides care for over 45,000 people in the Westside of LA, Inglewood, the South Bay and everywhere in between.

OPENING TONIGHT Megan Mulrooney is pleased to present Nascence, a solo exhibition of new work by Maddy Inez, on view from May 16 - June 20, 2026.
In Nascence, Maddy Inez draws on plants and their cultural histories, channeling her research into extensive material experimentations in the studio. The resulting works range from anthropomorphic vessels, tendrilled wall reliefs, and preparatory watercolors, each of which are inspired by flora – hibiscus, za’atar, poppies, to name a few – that hold deep medicinal, symbolic, and historical importance.
“Nascence is a show about gardening as an act of resistance,” writes Inez. “I researched the gardens and people’s relationships to plants that have been forcibly removed or displaced from their land due to colonization. The act of choosing to have a relationship with a land after enduring so much violence is such a powerful act of resistance. The choice to plant to feed your people in an unpredictable future is a choice of hope.”
Many of Inez’s works take on symmetrical, upright structures with looping handles and unfurling, leaflike bases that suggest a human stance. Gaps and openings punctuate their surfaces, recalling both human features – eyes, mouths – and botanical structures alike. Her glazes are exuberant and wide-ranging, with any individual work containing both chalky earth tones and glossy, saturated purples, reds, and greens that conjure up cycles of growth and decay. In the wall reliefs, Inez compresses her botanical forms into shallow planes, where petals and stems reach outward from the surfaces.
