Hi, and thanks for visiting!
I'm Maria (Mariolina) and I'm an Art Director. I don't recall what went down in that photo of me, but I'm pretty sure it's where I got my sense of humor. That sense of humor has sustained and nurtured my creativity through out my career. I have experience in all media, and I love a challenge. I am curious like a squirrel and always teaching myself something new, whether it's Greenland rolling, gouache painting, or Flexbox. I put this website together myself, and considering the amount of Spray Mount I've been exposed to, that's pretty impressive.
