Biography
Maria’s floral and landscape paintings bring a fresh, contemporary insight to the tradition of California impressionism. Maria’s paintings juxtapose color, form, light and balance in works that are both cheerful and visually stunning in their simplicity and palette. “I want my works to remind the viewer of the unrivaled beauty of color and shape found only in nature.”While a student at U.C.L.A. and Santa Monica College, Maria studied the fundamentals of drawing, perspective, the human form, design, and color in a rigorous academic setting. In addition to the wide variety of art classes during her years of academic training, Maria spent several years studying classical realism painting and drawing the human body following her graduation from U.C.L.A.. Maria has also studied with internationally-known California colorist Sharon Burkett Kaiser, who taught her California impressionist painting applying the techniques, colors and styles of the Russian academic school, exemplified by Nicolai Fechin and Sergei Bongart. “Maria displays a wonderful color sense and understanding of shape and form in her paintings,” observes Sharon Burkett Kaiser.In recent years, Maria has focused her efforts on plein air painting of seascapes, landscapes and florals, especially along the Southern California coast.Maria is an associate artist member of the California Art Club.EDUCATIONU.C.L.A.

"Clint Watson has made it very easy for artists to bring their work to the public.
Obviously the internet is an important marketing component for the artist.
For a luddite like me FASO is the way to go.
There is always a support team available, we get to talk to real people to solve our web site needs.
I don't have the skills or time to develop a website. I should paint not spend time on a computer."
"A website is one of the most valuable tools to market paintings for artists of our time.
I recommend FASO to every artist who is still struggling with all the difficulties in creating and maintaining their website.
FASO is so well designed it will show your paintings professionally while still being extremely user friendly.
I feel bad for all the artists not using FASO yet."
"My art career has really been growing by leaps and bounds since I've been doing more with the website.
So thanks for dragging me into the high tech world kicking and screaming. Now all I need is a secretary"
"Your software is amazing! Thank you.
I just put a new painting onto my web site and it was so easy.
have made the job a piece of cake. Good job."
