Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina on Jan 26, 1963, Maria has lived in many countries thanks to her father's career as a diplomat.
Although she graduated as an English interpreter, she's an artist (and writer) at heart.
She lived for many years in Greece and some of her work reflects her love of that country.
Maria began painting twenty years ago, and at first did exclusively Naive painting.
She later moved to Realism, working on landscapes and still-lives.
She worked in the food and catering business for many years and her love of cooking is also reflected on many of her writings.
She currently lives in Buenos Aires with her daughter.
