ABOUT THE ARTIST

Growing up in Stockholm with an artist mother, Maria’s artistic education began long before her academic instruction. Creating art became a natural part of life; the art studio a space for creative release, freedom and play. She graduated from the Art Institute of Seattle in 1996, moved to San Francisco and later on returned to Stockholm, working with art direction within the fashion industry. In 2019 she decided to let her own creativity take space, evolve and grow and returned to a more focused studio practice.

Today, she’s a full-time fine artist, translating the inspiration of the magnificent Nordic landscapes into watercolor and acrylic paintings. Her work is held in private collections all over Europe and North America.
