I am a self-taught Maryland artist. Although I dabbled in painting and printmaking, I didn't pursue art seriously until I retired from my full-time job in May of 2021. I work with acrylics to create studio and plein aire landscapes, and portraits of people and animals. Plus I'll throw in a bit of humor as well.
My name is Maura and I am 24yrs old. I currently am in college and I am about to graduate. I have lived in Maryland my entire life and love to capture the beauty of it.
I am currently in the process of rebuilding my career after taking a hiatus from 2000 to 2015 to focus on other pursuits. Before this hiatus, I was an active member of the arts community in the Maryland region, having received an MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 1987. During the 90s, I was fortunate enough to receive two Maryland State Art grants as well as several Baltimore City arts grants, and my work was exhibited at several selected regional venues during this time. I was born and raised in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York and relocated to this region in 1985.

At the age of 64 and having embraced several different painting styles and mediums ,I continue to approach painting with a childlike sense of wonder.
I tend to paint in series and devote a good period of time to each series while actively seeking progressive visual change.
My current , "Gods and Goddesses" series includes paintings inspired by mystical poetry from a single poetess.
This series has been ongoing for several years encompassing many different approaches and sizes.
I am a watercolor artist living in Havre de Grace. I have been painting for many years in this medium and will never get tired of it.
