Meet Maria - SIgnature Artist

Meet Maria! Maria joined our collective in 2024 and currently lives in the gorgeous Northern Rivers. Maria has been practicing art since she was in high school and entered the world of live painting soon after, and has now left her full time job to pursue art full time. 

Inspired by love and nature, she is a lover of soft and gentle details, creating dreamy and atmospheric paintings that feel romantic and nostalgic in their soft colours, abstract florals and gold gilded edges. 

Maria has had paintings featured in UK House and Garden Magazine and her dream is to travel throughout Europe studying traditional art techniques. We are very lucky to still have Maria on this side of the globe, she is a valuable asset to our collective, and the perfect painter for your next event.

Maria creates live painting, live guest portraits, custom portraits and even stationery. 

Her favourite colour is pink!

Live Guest Portraits

Maria has been painting live guest portraits extensively and has a gorgeous flowing style that guests love. 

HOW IT WORKS:

  • Maria arrives at your event prior to guests to set up and prepare to start painting them as they arrive.
  • We have an assistant capture all the guests photos, so Maria can concentrate on painting as many guests in her time. 
  • Once the portraits are complete, we package them up and have them ready for guests to collect. Our assistant will also hand them out throughout the night.
  • Your event details are printed onto each portrait so guest will have that lasting memory as well as a personalised portrait to cherish. 
  • Many guest frame their paintings.

Live event painting

Maria creates loose and whimsical paintings capturing the essence of your day.

HOW IT WORKS:

  • Maria arrives at your event prior to the ceremony to set up and start painting.
  • She captures your moment during the ceremony, or posed picture if organised.
  • She then starts painting the scene during canapé hour, allowing your guests to enjoy the process and interact.
  • She will then move with the guests into the reception space and continue to paint.
  • She will do a end of night reveal around 8.30pm, before completing it in her studio, framing and delivering.
  • You relive your special moment each time you look at your painting!
