Maria grew up in  Madrid,  Spain, and earned a  degree in Fine Arts  from Complutense University. She lived in  London  to see more of the world.

After visiting friends in  New York, she knew it was where she had to be. So Maria and her husband, Fede, a multi-media artist, moved to  New York in 2000.

Since then, they have made the city their home. Their family has expanded to  two children, Lucas and Ruby, and their beloved  pug, Blue. They could not imagine raising them anywhere else.

Maria has a  master’s degree in fashion and video photography  from the  School of Visual Arts  in New York.

Her photographs have been shown in exhibitions in galleries such as  Red Hook Labs  in Brooklyn and  Fast Retailing Gallery. Her fashion photographs have been featured in  Neo 2, a Spanish magazine.

 During the course of her career, she has developed a personal aesthetic that values  simplicity  and  gorgeous  light.
