​Maria aims to capture the emotional impact of sea and sky in her paintings.

​

Her passion for their eternal movement is reflected in her vibrantly interpreted seascapes and landscapes. Using layers of oil paint and gestural brush strokes to reach the desired effect, her work is largely figurative/representational with a dream-like edge.

​

Deep, mesmerizing colour is a keynote of her work. 

​

World themes such as global warming and trashing paradise are used in her work.

​

Maria's work is for sale at The Gallery, Newberry, SC and the Little Red Gallery, Lincoln, UK.
