Hi, I'm Maria.
I turn faces and skin into fantasy.
From reptile boudoir to Dia de los Muertos crowns, I've spent over a decade building fantasy shoots, doing bridal and editorial makeup, and helping clients build a routine that actually works for them.
Nurse by trade. Storyteller by nature.
I've worked as a Licensed Practical Nurse since 2007, and I've always been just as drawn to beauty and skincare. I studied at Catherine Hinds to build out my makeup and skincare skills properly, then started working with photographer @mariahgalecreative, which opened the door to working alongside clothing designers, hair stylists, and other artists.
A lot of the concepts you'll see in the portfolio started with me: the snakes, the spiders, the pinup sets. Friends and their kids still ask how I do their looks, so now I help people build makeup routines and skincare habits that actually fit their real life.
Five galleries, one very busy imagination

Your spirit needs upkeep too
I've been a nurse since 2007, and I've seen simple things like breathing, music, and touch do some of the deepest healing. Here's what I offer to support that.
