I listen to what is alive in people, and create art and spaces that bring us closer to who we are.

"Maria is an artist who uses her sensitive ability to listen, both in encounters with people and in art."

Stardust

A transition

A day at my home and in the forest, for those of you who are in a transition in life, and want help to listen to what is alive within you. You will go home with an original work drawn from what I have listened to within you.

"The best thing was sitting together on the floor with tea and a candle between us and just exploring what was on my mind."
Merete,
participant at the Stardust gathering

Art for healing spaces

For hospitals and other places that hold people in transition. I create creative collections where people can express themselves through colors, shapes, but also words or silence. The way to listen is created in meeting the individual institution and what needs you have. From what I see and listen to in the collection, I draw a work of art. A work that can meet the next ones who come.

"I came to a room where I could just be. Be with others. I didn't have to be anything more than me, just the way I was right then."

Eline, participant in creative gathering
