Miss Martha by Maya is an emerging artist who has amassed a significant body of work, predominantly depicting women and 1930s and 1940s fashion. Her work has garnered interest from far and wide as her style is genuine, thoughtful and expressive. It could be said that all her subjects are various forms of self portraits, as each painting has a certain allure and a large part of the artist's personality and lived experience. They stare challengingly at the viewer, sometimes utterly vulnerable and sometimes displaying a form of power that shouts "Call me crazy and judge me, I dare you!"
