Maia is a multi-disciplined illustrator and visual communicator based in Somerset, England. She uses her bright and saccharine visual language to evoke feelings of whimsy, nostalgia and joy. Maia enjoys creating cheerful worlds and her work is enjoyed by those who share a passion for all things sentimental.
Throughout her childhood, Maia has loved illustrating her own stories and spent hours of her free time creatively expanding on stories she'd experienced. Maia has continued to nurture this love for illustration, fiction and nostalgia through her range of creative processes.
''The most important quality about my art process is to not capture reality in it's truest form, but to articulate what I see through my own world.''
Maia has graduated with an Upper Second Class Honours Bachelors Degree of Illustration from the University of Brighton, 2024. She is also part of the 2024 graduate collective 'Horse Called Friend'.
