Maria Mcculloch

Master of Fine Arts.
Several things have shaped me as an artist. The first is that I grew up in Plovdiv the oldest European city which was continuously inhabited for 8000 years and sixth oldest in the world. The city is known as the artistic capital of Bulgaria and becаme Europe Capital of Culture in 2019.
I graduated from the National High School Of Stage And Film Design.
Later I studied MA Fine Arts at the University of Veliko Tarnovo. The city was once the capital of Bulgaria in the Middle Ages . It has always been a magnet for generations of artists surrounded with beautiful panoramas formed by the deeply incised meandering of the river Yantra passing through the heart of the city.
