Hi, I’m Maria

My story is about joy in sorrow, hope in loss, and strength in weakness. By God’s matchless grace, I have special giftings in painting and finding hope through God’s Word. I use both those grace-gifts in my painting, hosting in-person workshops and teaching online. (new course coming soon-ish. Its a lotta work.)

I’m an empty-nested, married 30-years, quirky introvert who loves Jesus and people (who aren’t too annoying). Oh and I love color. Oh and light too. Apologies to the grammar experts out there.

I don’t believe in listing all my credentials and what I’ve accomplished as an artist in the last 80 years (more or less). I believe what the Apostle Paul said, “He who boasts, let him boast in The Lord.”
