About Me…

My name is Maria and I am an artist based in the northern Wellington Suburbs of New Zealand. I have had an interest in art from a young age and spent much of my childhood being encouraged alongside my mum whilst she painted. I went on to study Graphic Design and have worked in this industry on and off for the past 18yrs. During the covid lockdown of 2020 I started illustrating with ink pens. I enjoy the challenge and detail that can be achieved through this medium. More recently I have started adding colour to my repertoire through coloured pencils.
