Hi, I’m Maria Harding — an artist and designer based in Sydney’s Inner West. I create playful, colourful work inspired by nature, organic shapes, and a love of bold, abstract forms.

With a background in Fine Art and over 25 years working in design, I blend both worlds in my creative practice. You’ll find me painting (digitally and traditionally), illustrating, and working on large-scale murals that bring joy and colour into public spaces.

I’m always exploring new ideas, but bright colours, movement, and a sense of curiosity are at the heart of everything I make.

If you're interested in a mural, collaboration, or commission — I’d love to hear from you!
