Hello I'm Maia! 

Ever since I was a kid, I've have loved art, crafting cards and sketching from a very young age. Following my passion, I pursued college for Studio Art, Graphic Design, and Video Animation, which eventually led me to some incredible experiences in the Art Department of 5 movies. Those were truly exhilarating times!

Around 2007, I craved more stability, and that's when Graphic Design became my calling. It's been an amazing 16-year journey as a Graphic Designer, and I've cherished every moment of it.

Around 2 years ago, I found myself journaling, pondering what I wanted to do at this point in my life. The answer that surfaced was unexpected yet undeniably clear – paint mermaids and baby dragons. Instead of questioning it, I wholeheartedly embraced the idea and started painting more frequently. The result? A newfound passion and a desire to share it with others.

And so, I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be teaching acrylic paintings for beginners and intermediate artists. Art is therapeutic, and I truly believe that every individual is innately creative.

CREATE. I encourage you to create art for yourself – immerse yourself in the joy of gliding paint on the canvas.

CONNECT. Take the time to connect with someone dear to you by gifting them something personally crafted by your own hands.

INSPIRE. Let art be your daily inspiration and a way to uplift those around you.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being here, and I genuinely hope you'll enjoy the wonderful journey we embark upon together through these videos!
