MARIA MICHURINA - NEW WORK
PREVIEW WORK
I was born in Moscow, Russia, and grew up in a family of physicists—a background that led me to a career in mathematics. After moving to the Pacific Northwest in 2010, I discovered quilting, and later, painting. I’m still not sure how I lived without it before.
In 2018, I attended a workshop with Ken Kewley on Bainbridge Island, returning again the following year. That experience, along with the 2020 lockdown, was a turning point in my artistic practice. Painted paper collage became my primary medium, with drawing and painting evolving naturally from it.
