Maria is a painter living and working on Gundungurra Land in the village of Robertson, NSW, Australia. Her work is influenced by her studies of Zen Buddhism and GODAI – The Japanese philosophy of The Five Elements. Earth, Water, Fire, Wind and Void.

“I attempt with my work, to create a feeling of mystery and ambiguity: a response to the unknown, beyond the underlying sense of self, the vibrant, unbounded consciousness.”
