Maria had numerous exhibitions. Her paintings are in many collections across the world .
She developed “The AniMotion Show” which brings together painting and music in real time . The concept was launched by the National Museum Of Scotland in collaboration with Evelyn Glennie . Since the launch , the show toured in USA , China and Europe .
Maria’s work has distinctly unique style and is immediately recognisable . Her extensive and inspirational body of work , built up over three decades of ceaseless application , echoes seemingly ancient themes while resonating with the present world .
Maria believes her work should not be intellectualised . The paintings are not the product of the intellect , but visceral expressions of images received “fully formed” in her mind . Each and every painting can be read and interpreted by anyone on a purely emotional level .
