She was classically trained at various atelier schools including the New York Academy of Art under the tutelage of Ted Seth Jacobs, and later with Max Ginsberg and Steven Assael at the School of Visual Arts earning her BFA. Maria states “It’s important that I capture that human experience that connects us”.
