Her teacher writes: Maya is an incredible young artist with a following of her own. Maya’s superb technical skill is matched with a fierce imagination, which is the perfect recipe for amazing artwork. In addition to being inspired by artists, music is very important to Maya’s creative drive – especially Grimes.
