Maria Huang

I was a previous apparel designer for ski and snowboard clothing where I was fortunate to work with incredible people and athletes.  My last job was with Patagonia.  After working there I was energized to remove myself from the material structure of consumerism and express myself through visual art.

 I feel it is of such importance to have a classical grounding in drawing and painting, so I went back to school with Juliette Aristides at Gage in Seattle .

It has, and continues to be an incredible journey. I feel fortunate once again to be surrounded by inspiring and amazing mentors and friends.
