MARIA YOUNG

My name is Maria Young. I am an artist, residing on the East Neuk of Fife in Scotland.

I strive to create my art that is a reflection of the experiences I have had throughout my life infused my own idiosyncrasies. Working primarily (but not exclusively) with glass, I combine random high-contrast colours with severe shape & form to produce thought-provoking work that is chaotic in nature. I have a preference for extreme and spontaneous pattern as a means of self-expression. I have put a significant amount of work into curating a style and aesthetic that runs throughout all of my work, one that I believe to be an accurate representation of my true personality. I believe that being untrue to yourself is an intolerable compromise.

Please look at my work, reflect on this passage and hopefully understand the connection about the artist and the art.
