Maudie Bryant is a multidisciplinary artist, educator, and mother based in Shreveport, Louisiana. Her work excavates memory, identity, and the human condition, moving between painting and poetry to expose the tension between calm surfaces and the unease that lives beneath. Symbolism, sensory detail, and emotional precision shape her practice across mediums.

She is a 2024 Artist Fellowship recipient from the Shreveport Regional Arts Council and the 2024 G. Scott Griffin Award winner from the Community Foundation of North Louisiana, an honor recognizing artists who create through adversity. She is also a Pushcart Prize nominee from orangepeel literary magazine. In 2025, she completed the KAT Artist Residency through the Shreveport Regional Arts Council and received the Ephraim Tyler Poetry Award at Speak Poetry Fest.

Maudie is the founder and editor of Audi Locus: A Journal of Poetry and teaches English Composition at Bossier Parish Community College. She holds an M.A. in English from the University of Louisiana Monroe.

Outside of her creative and professional life, she finds joy and steady inspiration in her family. She is fueled by the chaos and wonder of raising two young sons alongside her husband and their spirited dog. Her work continues to evolve with a restless drive to name, uncover, and explore the unseen and unspoken.
