Hand painted murals, mythical illustration and fine art
Hello dear human, my name is Maya, I make folk art about nature and mythology from a tiny studio in Central Victoria.
My favourite thing is getting to create illustrations for movers and shakers who believe in the home grown and the hand made. If that sounds like you, shoot me and email, I might be the perfect artist for your story.

About the Artist:
Spiritual ecology re-imagined
Maya's always had a love of drawing from when she could first hold a pencil.
"People would ask me if I wanted to be an artist when I grew up and I would defiantly tell them I already am an artist!"
Now she spends her time painting in her tiny studio, mixing her own paints and crafting an art practice that feels gritty yet fantastical.
Or at least that's when she's not gardening, as a self proclaimed gardening addict Maya's art naturally mirrors the balance of her own life and centres itself around the natural world and our relationship to it, often depicted through mythology and symbolism.
