Maria is an artist based in Los Angeles, California. Born and raised on a coffee farm in Guatemala, Maria moved to the United States at a young age where she explored painting as a means to cope with the transition. Her artwork tends to lead her to the surreal. This dreamy, wavy perspective has since pushed her curiosity into polaroid emulsion lift and most recently, art directing her first film. (A film about Aliens in LA!) When she is not behind an easel, Maria works as a paralegal specializing in employment law and civil rights.
