Maria E Hart

My passion for art started when I was very young living in Cuba. I have been a resident of Houston since 2007. Prior to moving to Houston I lived in Florida where I earned my Bachelors of Arts in Motion Picture Technology at the University of Central Florida. In this country, I was able to expand my dreams and I was very lucky to have the opportunity to work for Disney Animation Studios in Orlando, Florida.
I fell in love with animation and special effects and the experience and knowledge that I acquired permitted me to teach Computer Visual Effects at Full Sail Real World Education School in Orlando. At present, I am dedicating my time to experimenting with different media (watercolor, oil, acrylic, wood, pencil, pastels, etc) creating work that touches my soul. “I hope that the final product will be enjoyed by the viewer as much as I enjoyed creating it.”
