Maria Schoettler graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz in 2007 where she earned B.A. in Art Practice with an emphasis in painting. During her time at UCSC and some time thereafter, Maria pursued her love of painting the human figure and created a body of work that captures the facial expressions and body language of her many subjects, both friends and perfectly strange studio models. While Maria is still thinking about people, in recent years the content of her work has expanded to include illustrations of other life-forms- food and plants.
