Maya LinMaya Lin has created a remarkable body of work that includes large-scale site-specific installations, intimate studio artworks, architecture, and memorials. Her artwork has been shown in museum and gallery exhibitions in the United States and around the world. Amongst other projects, Lin is currently working on a new laboratory research facility for Novartis in Cambridge, MA.

Lin graduated from Yale University receiving a BA in 1981 and an MA in 1986, and has maintained a professional studio in New York City since then. She is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and was awarded the National Medal of Arts by President Barack Obama in 2009.
