Maria Chamra
Is a contemporary realist painter based out of the Jersey shore. Maria has a distinctive personal style that is a reflection of her playful, emotional, and nostalgic spirit. I’m inspired by destinations near and far, music that moves me, and love in all forms.
Her artwork has ranged in size from miniature canvases, measuring a mere 3x3 inches, to murals - A self-proclaimed extremist! Her full portfolio is rounded out by graphic design, screen printing, various mixed media, and guided instructional paint classes. A running theme throughout her artwork, no matter the medium, is my hyper attention to detail.
Very environmentally conscious and tryies to upcycle any medium she can get her paws on. This includes leather handbags, jackets, slate, wood, bone, terracotta pots, and even vintage prints and paintings that have been tossed aside and discarded. Maria enjoys breathing new life into each piece and especially loves the idea of contrasting subject matters. Introducing an unexpected element or twist to a classic theme is my absolute favorite concept.
