Maria Saunders
Art

Maria Saunders is a Portuguese artist from Cascais. She Graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Lisbon, Erasmus programme in Accademia di Brera Milan, and completed her Master in Fine Arts at Chelsea College of Art & Design at the University of the Arts in London.

After completing a course in Art and Finance at Sotheby’s Art Institute in London, she worked in art consultancy, art and antiques auctions, digital publishing and graphic design.

Maria is most at home in her studio where she dedicates all of her time. Maria is currently working with Galeria São Mamede in Lisbon and expecting her third child. She compulsively reads, writes and paints and it is in this triangular compound that she appropriates visual metaphors whenever reality does not seem quite enough.
