Contemporary Australian artist living in the northern rivers on Bundjalung country.
‘I work in a variety of mediums layering and combining different materials. Rendering the surface to evoke emotional connection and memory of the landscape. The northern rivers has been my home and subject for over 40 years, it is constantly revealing its many aspects of colour and light, forms and lines, the daily rhythms of life in this beautiful part of the world.
Maria’s experimental approach to mixed media drawing and painting has received numerous commendations, including The Border Art Prize (2010), and the FID International Drawing Competition (2018). In 2002, Maria completed a Diploma of Education which allowed her to share her advanced skills at secondary schools and community colleges. She has actively participated in group exhibitions for over four decades, and more recently, she has enhanced her career with four solo exhibitions, with many of her works being acquired by local and international collections.
