About Me

Hi, I’m Maria.

I'm an artist, writer, lifelong learner, and recovering perfectionist who believes creativity is one of the ways we find our way home to ourselves.

For more than forty years, I worked in higher education and business. Along the way, I earned degrees in Psychology and English, taught literature, raised a family, experienced loss and transformation, and learned that some of life's most important lessons cannot be found in a classroom.

Today, I spend my days creating art, writing, exploring ideas, and paying attention to what brings meaning, wonder, and connection.

Soul Journey Arts grew from a simple belief: we are all creative beings. Creativity isn't reserved for artists. It is a way of listening, exploring, healing, imagining, and becoming.

I am also a certified Intuition Painting® facilitator and occasionally share creative experiences that encourage self-expression, reflection, and curiosity.

Through art, writing, music, reflection, Intuition Painting®, and creative experiences, I share pieces of my own journey in the hope that they might inspire something in yours.

I don't claim to have answers. I am simply a fellow traveler, curious about what it means to live a meaningful life, trust the creative process, and continue becoming who we are.

Thank you for stopping by.

May you find beauty, inspiration, and a little more of yourself along the way.

— Maria
