Maria uses a variety of mediums to create art.  Acrylic, watercolor, pen and ink, airbrushing and mixed media. Influenced by her client’s wide range of requests she's learned to be versatile, therefore the subject matter varies from landscapes, imaginary, architectural to wildlife, nature and pets and more motivating her to learn different techniques for example, realistic, trompe loeil, impressionistic, imaginary, expressionistic,
whimsical, and old world styles.
​Maria's studio is private, local orders can picked up at her husband's art studio in the South Side Slopes
​Johno's Art Studio  1705 Arlington Ave.   Pittsburgh, PA 15210 
 ​​ Painting thousands of murals and art projects for her customers over past 37 years,
the images here and Mural pages are a glimpse of these creations.
