As an ardent animal lover and a nature enthusiast, I communicate the deep connection between the natural world and humanity through my art. With my paintings and creative endeavors  I hope to inspire you to tap into your own inner power and potential. I also work to highlight the collective responsibility we share towards the well being of our planet and all life on it. 

 

About the Artist

Maya has had the good fortune to travel around the country and experience the richness of various cultures, cuisines, languages and landscapes throughout  her childhood owing to her fathers army background. Maya is an Indian born American artist. She pursued her education in Arts and Design defying familial and societal expectations of prevailing notion of pursuing nothing but a scientific career.  Being a creative at heart she earned a Masters Degree in Textile Designing from a prestigious university in India. With a fervor for visual arts, she embarked on teaching career inspiring countless students in the field of Fashion Technology, Textile Design and Ceramic Arts and she became a beloved mentor, earning the admiration and respect of not only her students but fellow faculty members. 

Life took an exciting turn for Maya when she ventured to the United States, following the path of love and marriage. Growing up in a diverse culture helped her embrace her new home quite well and she continued enriching her creative expression, honing her skills  and expanding the horizons of her artistic vision while raising her family and supporting her husband. 

Although the constant moving during her childhood blessed her with a gift of exploration, an open mind and a profound appreciation for the worlds rich tapestry,  leaving friends behind was something she needed to overcome with every move. This was fulfilled through her creative expressions and her ardent love for animals. Raised in the loving company of her pet dogs and indulging in horse riding after school, she found a cherished sense of stability and companionship that accompanied her wherever she roamed.

Maya firmly advocates the profound interconnection between the nature and humanity, as they are intricately woven together. When a single thread unravels, it weakens the entire fabric.

Mayas evocative creations of the magnificent creatures of our planet grips your heart, evoking emotions and inviting introspection. Her enthusiasm towards nature, love for animals and concern towards the well being of wildlife is unwaveringly evident in her creations.  

Giving back to her community and various causes is important to Maya. Through workshops, community outreach programs and collaborative initiatives she strives to inspire individuals of all ages and backgrounds to embrace their artistic spirit and unlock the boundless possibilities within.  Her artwork regularly gets donated to non profit organizations that work towards nature conservation and animal welfare. 

When not in her studios, you can find Maya immersed in nature, capturing its beauty with her camera, as photography is another passion she holds dear. Beyond her artistic pursuits, she cherishes walks with her beloved pets, savoring tea time with her husband in the backyard, and dancing, cooking, baking joyfully with her two kids. These cherished moments add vibrant colors to her life and inspire her art.
