V. Marie Maya

I was born and raised in Huntsville and went to school here until grade 13, then trained as a school teacher. I taught in several places through out the province then retired back to Huntsville where I concentrated all my talents and effort pursuing my passion for painting and carving. I have been a member of the Muskoka Pallet Packers since the early ’90s and later joined HAS, and have displayed my work at several M.P.P. shows and at Partners Hall and the Summit Centre. I work mainly in watercolours with varying subject matter: people, landscape, buildings and animals. I did many carvings while vacationing in Mexico on drift wood. Subject matter was mainly faces. Recently, I joined a carving group at the Summit Centre and have concentrated on learning to carve birds with some very talented carvers. I enjoy all artistic endeavours and am very lucky to live in beautiful Muskoka.
