Maya Rodriguez's artistic journey began in her grandmother's studio, where she first learned traditional weaving techniques. Over the years, she has developed a unique style that combines these traditional methods with contemporary digital elements.

Her work explores themes of cultural identity, migration, and the intersection of traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. Through her art, Maya creates bridges between generations and cultures.

Watercolor painting requires a delicate balance of control and spontaneity. Professional artists share their top tips for mastering this beautiful medium:

• Invest in quality paper - it makes all the difference in how pigments behave
• Practice wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry techniques to understand water control
• Start with light washes and build up color gradually
• Don't overwork your painting - know when to stop
• Embrace "happy accidents" as opportunities for creative discovery

Remember that watercolor is as much about the water as it is about the color. The transparency and fluidity of the medium are what give it its unique character.
