My Healing Friend

Exhausted, confused, and sad
I sit under the branches of my dear friend.
As I blend with the soft, calm, radiance
of the tree spirit,
it’s rhythmic presence quiets me
and I feel my heart healing.

Maria seeks to express the spiritual dimension in her painting. Her work now displays a dynamic union of traditional and process painting, seemingly effortlessly expressing her inner experiences.

Maria’s work is in private collections all over the country.
