Maura Hardman

Maura is from South Africa where there is an abundance of natural light and greenery. It therefore does not come as a surprise that she finds a lot of her inspiration from nature. She started her art career from a young age and finished her school education with art being a part of her curriculum.

Already well versed in various mediums by the age of 18, her love for art remained a driving force. She furthered her studies and completed a three-year diploma in Graphic Design. The journey did not end there; Maura continued her studies and developed a focus on photography. She found her niche in specialised forms of photography such as photograms. Her gifting and skilful handling of her choice of subject matter culminated in an exquisite exhibition and earned her a higher diploma, Cum Laude, and the offer of a scholarship to do a Master's degree.

Maura has exhibited and sold art pieces and continues to produce works of a high calibre which makes for a deeper insight into the delicate architecture of plant life. Her unique art highlights the rich variety of textures and patterns in nature. Every piece provides a glimpse of the unique perspective she has of the world around her and allows us to see the beauty that surrounds us through a different lens.
