Maeva grew up in Vancouver, graduating from the University of British Columbia. She taught ESL at Vancouver Community College for 25 years retiring in 2005. She moved full time to Mayne Island in 2011. She is a wife, mother to four and grandmother to eight-the joys of her life. She has a strong attachment to the rugged mountains, oceans and wildlife of the West Coast. Though she loves travelling, the beauty of the West Coast always calls her back. She started painting in 2017 and has shown her work in Student Exhibitions and Arts Council shows.
Statement
I have been influenced by the beauty of the West Coast mountains and oceans.I am intrigued by the vibrant colours and feel of nature. I paint in a style that tends towards impressionism using oils on canvas.
