Bird & nature-inspired oil paintings
The latest that came to life on the easel…
It started with a pair of binoculars and passion for art and observation..
The inspiration…
From a passionate birdwatcher, to reading bird books, guides and just exploring nature to making my bird explorations come to live on the canvas!
My bird tattoo not only represents my love for birds, but also my fascination with their history,
wisdom and diversity!
Plein air painting (aka outdoor art making), field drawing and nature journaling is what brings me closer to my birds, wildlife and all things nature!
follow my birding adventures on social media!
Art that speaks to many in different ways..

Both my parents and aunt and uncle were cardinal lovers. They're gone now. Such a beautiful reminder to keep them close

Aside from Maria's artwork being beautiful and a lovely addition to our home, I found her to be professional, prompt and efficient in her handling of my order.

Maria created an amazing commision for my daughter. She has such an incredible ability to bring life to her work. Our beautiful hummingbird is a focal point in our home.

I bought a beautiful oil painting from Maria without even seeing it in person. The colors were so vibrant really spoke to me.

Maria is so incredibly talented! I had her paint mine and my husbands eyes and they turned out so perfect!! I’ve also purchased a mug that is one of my favorites! You won’t regret buying anything from her

I’m such a huge fan of Maria’s and am absolutely in love with this piece! I’m working on renovating my home and, although I haven’t completed the room where this will go — it is providing me with lots of inspiration! It’s simply *stunning*. The drawing was very carefully packaged and shipped quickly as well. Thank you so much!
