About

Welcome!

My name is Maia (he/him)! I'm a 26 year old trans artist from Iowa with a BFA in illustration from the Kansas City Art Institute. My focus is on creating display art dolls/puppets, a process which involves knowledge of analog and digital sculpting, creature design, silicone mould-making, resin casting, resin printing, armature construction, machine and hand-sewing, painting, and photography. I work mostly with furries and other individuals who love creatures/monsters :)Thanks for checking out my work!Email is [email protected]
