Hola.

I'm Maria, and after living many years on this Earth, this is what I've learned:
"It's not the things you pack in your bag that matter,
it's the incredible memories you create along the way."
I like to call myself an Artist, because I cannot pick a single art category
that defines my interests. Art Direction, Graphic Design, Lettering, Illustration, Watercolors, Hip Hop dancing and hey, I can also beat you in billiards!
