| Introduction | Maria was born in Philadelphia, PA. exhibiting signs of restlessness and creativity from birth, which found her in trouble a lot with the Mercy nuns who tried to educate her through elementary and high school. She managed to graduate from College Misericordia in Dallas, PA, and somehow - her journey finally began...from studying in Europe to frolicking in the wondrous 70's in Golden Gate Park with - yes..."flowers in her hair". Living in the famed Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco and rubbing elbows with the likes of Jerry Garcia and Rudolf Nureyev couldn't help but stir that creative energy within. Creativity had become a daily necessity in her life. Many art mediums were experimented with through the years, but when her fingers touched clay...it became love at first touch! Maria's pieces run the gamut from functional to purely fun. They all share the same quality in colorful whimsy. Maria now resides in Plains, PA in a very colorful environment which she shares with her 5 cats and 2 dogs. |
