ARTIST’S STATEMENT

Flor de Maria was born in Lima, Peru. The love for painting started at an early age, never happier than when she was drawing and expressing her feelings doing so. Her school notebooks were an expression of that love, which was never appreciated by her parents or teachers because she kept drawing during class time. This passion continued during her years in university, she graduated as an Engineer. She started painting with water colour, acrylic and oil. she took various arts courses in order to improve her techniques. She loves what she does now even more because she can express herself with what she learned and she is now able to translate her love for Latino America and Canada onto the canvas.
