Mixed-media artist, Maria Alcantara enjoys working with a variety of tactile materials when she creates.
Her sculptures are a collage of manufactured and natural elements, selected for their size, shape, and texture.
Maria creates her sculptures by stringing donated beads into wires and pipe cleaners, layering canvases and wooden panels heavily with beads of different shapes and colors.
Maria also enjoys using oil pastels to create abstract textured fields of color on paper and wooden surfaces.
