Announcement
Welcome to my shop! I am a watercolor artist and fashion illustrator based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
I draw inspiration from fashion, people, architecture, and nature. As an introvert with a vibrant imagination, I can't not create. When I am confronted with ugliness in the world, I seek out beauty. I try to paint things that will make eyes and hearts happy. My watercolor paintings are remarkably detailed, and I often use contrast and color to direct the eye and influence perception. I favor realism, but I love a dash of whimsy.
In addition to selling my paintings and prints, I take on a variety of commissions and collaborations for both personal and professional projects. I am also a wedding painter and live illustrator. View more of my artwork and services on my website: https://mariaahrens.com

5 out of 5 starsThis is a beautiful painting. I bought it as a present for my daughter from her daughter. I was amazed when I saw this painting as it is just like my daughter and granddaughter. With the artist requesting the hair and skin tone of mum and daughter, this makes it extra special. Very good quality and I would totally recommend

I discovered FinerWorks through another artist and was immediately impressed by the quality of their prints. To make a print for my shop, I send them the digital scan of my artwork, and they reproduce it beautifully through their giclee printing process.
