This work is designed to evoke joy and bring a smile to the viewer's face. For Maria, color holds an irresistible, almost physical attraction; it is her greatest source of inspiration. Guided by her deep love of color, she approaches tufting with the simple yet powerful mission of spreading happiness. It’s not complicated—her craft is about creating joyful, wool-based artworks that leave a lasting impression and can be cherished for generations.

Through her textile art, she aims to make people smile, as she firmly believes the world is a little brighter with more color in it.

In her latest collection, titled Fluffy Friends, Maria plays with contrasts in materials, showing the incredible possibilities of using the same hue in various shades and textures of yarn. The collection, which will be showcased at the Affordable Art Fair Stockholm, features delightful and fluffy pieces like Swirl with Me, Pick Me Up, Dance with Me, and Swim with Me. Each work bursts with color, inviting viewers to embrace a moment of joy and whimsy.
