Mushroom Woman – Maggie Belinski

$111.00

Part of Maggie Belinski’s ongoing exploration of death, rebirth, and the sacred feminine, this ceramic sculpture invites exploration. A small ceramic figure, looking up and out to the universe, where the feminine and the fungal collapse into each other. A little altar piece. Hand-built, glazed, made to be held. Just like this gal in her mushie hat.

Maggie Belinski is a Richmond-based oil painter and ceramicist whose work threads together mushrooms, mythic feminine forms, and the cyclical pulse of the natural world.

Maggie Belinski is an artist and a high school art teacher living in Richmond, VA. She works across multiple mediums—oils, acrylics, clay, and textiles—creating work designed to be used and appreciated in everyday life. Since graduating from Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts in 2024, she has founded and became the co-owner of Rainy Daze Cafe and Clay, a pottery teaching business, as well as having her work shown in exhibitions at The Crone House. She is a Crone House resident artist and Crone-in-Training Alumn.

Her practice centers on death, rebirth, and the life cycle, using mushrooms as symbols of renewal from decay. She explores feminism through the lens of witchcraft, reclaiming a term historically used to villainize women and transforming it into a statement about power. Her work addresses nature's cycles, the modern witch, and how reframing death—not as fearful, but as a natural and beautiful progression—shifts how we value life itself.
