Maya was so sweet to gift my newborn (also named Maya) with a gorgeous namesake piece! It is my absolute favorite addition to our nursery, as is brightens up the space so beautifully. Will definitely be purchasing more art very soon!

Amazing! I was so happy with the way that my piece turned out. I just recently moved in to a new condo and this is the first piece of art that I've hung on my wall. I got a lot more decorating to do, but this is definitely the highlight of my living room so far.

I messaged Maya about a custom piece and she really brought my vision to life! Communication was great! She kept in touch the entire time about the process and gave me several color options to choose from. I can't wait to hang this beautiful piece in my new home! I will be posting some photos when I do.

I won their first Instagram giveaway and received a 8 inch by 8 inch textured artwork. I put it on one of the walls in our formal dining area and it looks super elegant. Maya is amazing not just at art but also very generous and kind. She worked me through each step right from choosing the art I wanted, the right color combinations, the border, etc. even though it was a giveaway piece. I am quite impressed by her skills and her diligence.

Maya made the post beautiful and personalized art piece for my wellness center and clinic. It reflected everything that we had in mind and much more. She is very talented and we are blessed to have such beautiful art to call our own. Highly recommend Maya, she will talk to you throughout the whole process and make sure you like what you see! And she is very kind, sweet and a pleasure to work with!

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Hi there, I'm Maya Fakhrriddine!

I'm Maya. I make layered abstract paintings for intentional homes, shaped by memory, identity, and what I was raised to hold sacred. I work in plaster, acrylic and oil, building the surface until it holds light. I paint from a home studio in San Diego.
