Maria’s abiding love of animals and the environment has led her to work as a wildlife rescue-and-rehabilitator, veterinary assistant, geologic surveyor, wetland steward, and artist.
She wishes for a world that lives in peace, where people have enough to eat and homes to shelter them, where differences are viewed as a good thing, and where wild animals,
forests, and wilderness lovers can thrive in their natural habitats.
Maria strives to share her passion for our beautiful planet through her photographs.
