Maria is very constructive thinker. She perfectly helps to organise the process of applying to international art institutions. In addition, meetings with her were not just formal discussions and checking the readiness of each step of application, but also an exploration of inspiring insights into your own work and the culture of the European art industry. Many seemingly incomprehensible and even frightening things become clear and achievable with her support. I highly recommend her as a professional who can really help you decide and successfully enrol in the programme of your dreams. I did it!

Maria is an extraordinary blend of a dedicated teacher and a talented artist, whose unwavering passion has instilled in me a newfound confidence and self-perception as an artist. With her captivating approach, she has guided me to reevaluate and redefine my artist statement and BIO. Maria consistently offers invaluable advice and extends her helping hand to overcome any obstacles I encounter in my artistic journey. I can’t recommend her enough .

I worked with Maria for 2 months and we made great portfolio for foundation program in UAL, unfortunately I changed my plans for studying and didn't send it. Maria is a professional who can help you with any kind of design work.

I applied to various universities in the UK and the USA for MA Fine art programmes. We had four consultations with Maria; together we thoroughly analysed my motivation letter, CV and portfolio. The feedback from Maria was really valuable, professional and detailed, I felt that we cover all the points. The overall process was creative and easygoing at once.

As a result, I became more confident as an artist and eventually received several offers from dream universities. Without a doubt, I recommend Maria to anyone who feels insecure and wants to fine-tune their applications.

I had the chance to work with Maria during my Master's degree. She is a positive hard-working individual who is desperate to make a change with her art. I genuinely respect her enthusiasm and commitment. She is highly skilled and a perfectionist. She is very patient and challenging when it comes to both theoretical and practical aspects of visual arts. It is always a pleasure working with her. I would 100% choose to work with her.

I express my appreciation to Maria.
She helps me to structure my art practice by defining my strengths and revealing them.
It mattered having your unique foreign experience for the portfolio preparations and application submissions.
Special thanks for the promptness in approach and willingness to translate into English on short notice.
I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Her approach was easygoing, personable, patient to achieve results. She developed my critical thinking through diverse references and examples relying on my practice encouraging dig deeper to understand what and why I am doing in my practice. I think wider to spread practical skills through understanding what painting is and what is about for me. I am still feeling blessed to meet Maria as a mentor on my way. She is an amazing artist, dedicated to art developing skills and proceeding with an artistic career, and always willing to share knowledge mentoring students.

Maria has a wide knowledge of drawing and painting techniques, and her lessons were innovative and imaginative. Her MA in Fine Art in three diverse institutions meant that she was able to explain the work of many diverse artists and movements. She has deep knowledge of Renaissance, Barocco, and modern art from the early 20th to contemporary art of the 21st century. Maria is an extremely passionate, energizing, and humorous individual which meant that her teaching held people’s attention and made learning fun and efficient in approaching goals
