Maria is a designer and artist, creating out of her studio in Ottawa, Ontario where she works with textiles and mixed media.

Maria creates delicate contemporary textile compositions that combine softness and smoothness of natural silk with the boldness and energy of her brushstrokes. Captivated by the ancient oriental art of textile painting, in her works on silk, Maria explores ways of balancing the expressiveness of flowing paint and minimalist design. Through her visual art practice Maria hopes to continue spreading awareness on the importance of art in our society and its healing nature.
