Maria’s holistic approach to design, integrating client vision with her personal experience, is a constant source of inspiration to me and my own design practice. Her boundless creativity and infectious energy are what drew me instantly to her; but it is her warmth and passion that truly set her apart and make her unique in the world of art and design.

It’s just so fabulous, the idea that you can have an art collection at any price and that no one should be priced out of art and anyone can live with vibrant, creative, imaginative, inspirational pieces in their home. I personally have so many questions about collecting contemporary art and this is Maria's business—advising her clients on how to start an inspiring and affordable collection.

Maria is an artist in her own right when it comes to interior design and placing art in the home. She is South American-hot in every way, with a unique style that combines vibrant color and warm hues to create fabulous living spaces. It is a testament to her exquisite taste that she treats art as an integral part of the spaces she designs, adding elegant touches of irony and humor to delight the homeowner and anyone else with a discerning eye.
