Maria Maja #28 on the 2015 Covered Bridge Art Studio Tour stop Oct 9-11th



Maria Maja  enjoys painting abstract, impressionistic-symbolic art in her studio.   A term coined by the artist.   Maria is able (with this method) to paint intuitively. 
Starting out as a realist, she found her present way of painting more fun.  In the beginning, she relates, she found it frustrating at times when she began painting this new way in 1991.  Going from designing realistic paintings for greeting cards, she had to rethink on how to create art.   Frustration at first, turned to total freedom, as she began to understand the process of letting go of her preconceived ideas about art.  She says she hates to admit it, but at one time she thought artists who painted abstract art didn’t know how to paint.  Maria learned the opposite was true through the years.
