Fragility and Brokenness
Having recently joined the Unison Colour community as an Associate Artist, I was excited to interact with other pastellists in Unison’s Facebook Group. Early on, I was intrigued by the comments on a fairly sad posting.
Maya is a Canadian artist based in the quaint hamlet of Glen Williams, Ontario.
Her first art instructor was her grandfather, who introduced her to painting when she was six years old. Maya would visit her grandparents on the Canadian East Coast, where she developed interests in the arts, literature, and the natural environment.
Maya received her B.A. in English Literature from St. Jerome’s University at the University of Waterloo, and a Diploma in the History of European Painting from Trinity College Dublin. She was trained in various dry media at the Tenaglia School of Art, specializing in soft pastels. Maya enjoys figure drawing, plein air painting, and working in monochrome.
Maya is an active member of Pastel Artists Canada. Her work has appeared in exhibitions and private collections across Canada. Her commissioned works have sold throughout Canada, Ireland, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the U.S.A.

In May we held a recruitment exercise for new Associate Artists and we were overwhelmed with the number of applications. So much so we will have 2 groups of new artists. Our 2nd group will be announced in August 2020.
