This piece drastically changed Maya’s style of painting. It was done as an assignment that was meant to help the students realize what watercolor can do as a medium in abstract. This piece inspired Maya, and she soon began to use watercolor more fluidly, and incorporate abstract watercolor “splatters” into her pieces.These “splatters” are seen in a great portion of Maya’s works after this piece (including Tiger #1, Hairy Monkey, Blindfold, and Butterfly Girl). This painting speaks to Maya’s fun personality and her interest in fantasy books, movies and art. (circa 2015)
