Dreaming with Maria
Paintings and mixed-media works shaped with cyanotype, flowing color, and moments of rest, tenderness, and memory.
Featured Series
A curated selection of my ongoing and signature bodies of work.
Works on Blue

Rest Series
Large-scale portraits of sleeping figures on layered and collaged cyanotype prints, exploring the intimacy of identity, memory and quiet moments.
Flow Series
Imaginative abstract paintings where color and form evolve freely, without reference or predetermined subject.
Hybrid Works
New mixed-media works that blend abstraction with figurative realism, evolving into surreal, otherworldly moments.
Murals
Large-scale public works translating my painterly practice into immersive environments.

About the Work
My paintings explore dreams, tenderness, and emotional connection. Working across pencil, ink, cyanotype, gouache, airbrush, acrylic, oil, and collage, I capture beautiful moments, important memories, and strong emotions that resonate with the heart.
Studio Notes
Two weeks of sketches and reference studies led to these satisfying moments.
My first time pairing masking fluid with acrylic, and airbrushed light bringing the piece to life.
Currently Working On
