About the Artist

Maria Sky

From an early age she was always interested in art and would choose anything related to art over something else. “Long ago, my mother had me make a choice between buying new slippers or a “Make It” artbook. I choose the “Make It” artbook.”

Her work has been shown at BABA Jam, Kaleid, Peninsula Open Studios, Art Ark Gallery, 1212 Gallery, Pajaro Valley Arts Gallery, Society of Western Artists, the Burlingame Artists Society Gallery Shows and in the #200Fish exhibition at the North Sea Observatory Art Space in England, Great Britain and solo shows at Bank of America and Borders Book Store.
