Hosted by Opus Art Supplies & our Experience leader
A passionate landscape painter, Maria Josenhans creates oil paintings both outdoors on location and in her North Vancouver studio. As an artist for four decades, Maria's work plays back and forth between representational and abstract, allowing each painting to find its own unique path. Her career has been shaped by long periods of immersion in large-format photography, working as an illustrator, training, competing and adjudicating Highland dance, teaching, and travelling the world by bicycle. Maria holds a BFA with Honours from the University of the Arts, Philadelphia, PA, has been the recipient of numerous awards and grants, and continues to take part in Invitational Plein Air events both nationally and abroad.Website: mariajosenhans.com
