Mattie Sterling, an activist figurative painter based in Savannah, Georgia, holds a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Painting from the Savannah College of Art and Design.

Functioning as a feminist, activist, writer, and painter, Sterling dedicates her life's work to gender equality. She utilizes her lifestyle and art to challenge heterosexist tyranny and hierarchical traditions, advocating for positive social change within women's civil and identity politics, empowerment, and sexuality.

The Vice Chair of the Young Women’s Caucus for Art, Sterling consistently explores the female figure and the emancipation of women's sexuality by engaging in exhibitions, publications, writing on Feminist Art, and in discussions on sexuality and sex positivity. Her recent body of work leverages the sexual capital of her models to address questionable beliefs and societal dogma surrounding women's sexuality.
