In her personal artistic endeavors, Maya delves into the intricacies of the human spirit, mysticism, and isolated intimacy through her artistic expressions. Drawing inspiration from folk art, she curates a distinctive collection of recurring characters and motifs that resonate with the shared threads of human existence. Maya's upcoming series aims to explore the nuanced landscape of the human psyche, providing a visually comforting space for navigating the complexities of the mind and the subtleties of madness. This interest in madness was sparked after Maya experienced a psychotic episode in 2020 & 2025, which deepened her understanding of the human condition and ignited her interest in how art can help prevent psychosis in those who are susceptible.
