Maya (b. 1985, United States)
Maya’s work is defined by her devotion to heavy impasto, acrylics, and the expressive power of post-impressionist brushwork. Trained at a leading international art school, she refined her craft during her tenure at a major museum, where she supported exhibitions and supervised the presentation of oil paintings.

Later, at Abrams Books, she contributed to art publications that emphasized the tactile qualities of paint and the vitality of color on the page. These experiences continue to inform her practice, where bold texture and luminous palettes serve as her signature.

At Jon’s Canvas, Maya leads the Fauvism Style, Acrylic, and Van Gogh-inspired Style, translating the intensity of layered pigment into portraits of pets that are at once intimate and emotionally resonant.
