A self-taught artist, Maura distills moving dream images into static art conveying the Godly within the human. Her delicately rendered graphite and ink drawings and oil glaze paintings use principles of the “Mische” techniques passed down by Viennese artist, Ernst Fuchs, a major influence.

Born in Philadelphia, 1967,Maura Holden spent her childhood absorbed in a multi-dimensional daydream forming the foundation of her continuing visionary education. Drawing and watercoloring throughout her youth, Maura had her first solo show at age sixteen in her home with many detailed paintings and drawings of inner landscapes populated by spirits and supernatural beings.
