Maya is a Canadian artist known for her vibrant, atmospheric forest scenes that shimmer with light and rich colour. Her distinctive style — often likened to stained glass lit by sunlight — combines bold painterly strokes with intricate detail, creating a striking interplay between texture and clarity. Each composition feels alive with movement and depth, inviting viewers into an almost dreamlike natural world.

Originally trained as a designer, Maya transitioned to fine art and established her own studio, allowing her to fully explore her passion for painting. Working in layers over several weeks, she combines painting and etching to build complex surfaces that are both tactile and luminous. From a distance, her works read as bold, earthy landscapes; up close, they reveal a delicate vocabulary of marks, etched lines, and subtle colour transitions.

Maya’s work is a celebration of nature’s complexity — capturing not just the appearance of trees and light, but the emotion and energy they stir in us. Her forest scenes radiate warmth, stillness, and a quiet strength.
