Maday is a prolific art educator, published artist, Janome America Artisan and speaker based in the Midwest, committed to bringing innovation and artistry to the forefront of the work she creates. Her mission is to nurture artistic platforms across cultures and generations to foster creative work, while finding ways to minimize our environmental footprint. Learning from cultural textile traditions and exchanging powerful stories, continues to be a source of inspiration that she hopes to share with all. Her goal is to unify students with different skill sets and share her love of art and vibrant textiles in a sustainable manner.  She combines paint, weaving, hand-stitching (her favorite) and machine sewing and embroidery to infuse her creations with energy, paying homage to her Cuban upbringing. She loves the art of collaging and storytelling with new and pre-loved textiles. She favors working with up-cycled materials and scraps as a way to honor the environment. Maday’s work has appeared in international publications: Curated Quilts 2023, Uppercase magazine (2022, 2020,) the book Quilted (2019), Love Patchwork & Quilting Magazine (2022-23) and periodicals in her home state. She also presented virtually to the design students at the Indian Institute of Art & Design in New Delhi, India in August 2020 and currently teaches at Folk Schools, Quilt Shops, Quilt Shows and is an instructor at Madison Technical College. She was also a guest at the Quilt Show with Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims, which airs April 2024
