    Step into the captivating world of Maya, a talented artist who draws inspiration from her diverse heritage and a passion for sensory experiences.

    With a background in surface design, Maya honed her creative skills and explored the realm of colours and patterns during her studies at LCC. Her artistic journey took a fascinating turn when she began to delve into the power of scents, drawing inspiration from her Swedish and West African heritage.

    Maya's artistic path has always been driven by a desire for multi-sensory experiences. She realised that creativity goes beyond the visual realm and embarked on a captivating exploration of fragrances and their connection to memories and emotions.

    Maya's fascination with smells and their connection to memory led her to explore the world of multi-sensory experiences. She wanted to break free from the confines of visual creativity and delve into the realm of scents, unlocking a whole new dimension of artistic expression. This unusual passion drove her to create captivating sensory experiences that touch the hearts and minds of those who encounter her art.

    As an artist, Maya has developed a profound expertise in creating sensory experiences that transport people to different worlds. Her approach is not only visually stunning but also ethical, local, and organic. She believes in the importance of sustainable practices and the use of natural materials that respect both the environment and our well-being.

    One of the reasons Maya is passionate about sharing her craft is the sheer joy she experiences when she sees people become truly captivated and interested in her work. Witnessing the impact her art has on others fuels her creative spirit and deepens her commitment to creating meaningful experiences.

    Step into Maya's studio, a beautiful and light-filled space located in the vibrant neighbourhood of Shoreditch. As you enter, you'll be greeted by an intoxicating symphony of scents, creating an immersive atmosphere that instantly transports you to different worlds. It's a place where creativity blossoms, and every corner holds the promise of inspiration.

    Maya's character can be best described as kind, passionate, and calming. Her genuine warmth and enthusiasm create a welcoming environment that encourages exploration and self-expression. She is not only a skilled artist but also a guide who gently leads others on a journey of sensory discovery.
