She has attended some workshops with Eric McRay at Raleigh's C-MAC and is currently mentoring with Peter Marin professor and artist. Maria has been exhibiting around the Triangle area throughout 2023 and has no plans on slowing down with 6 exhibits under her belt this year. With a determination to use art for mental health awareness her work tends to be thought provoking and brings elements of nostalgia from her home country of the Dominican Republic.
