Maya Martin

Maya Martin is a blossoming artist based in Vancouver, British Columbia, with deep roots in the serene Alberta prairies. Drawn by the West Coast’s beauty, she pursued a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration at the Emily Carr University of Art and Design. Fuelled by nostalgia and being homesick, her work reflects a deep connection to her heritage and the land she grew up on. Martin creates dreamlike, feminine narratives through illustrations, ceramics, and beading in her practice. Her mixed heritage—Danish, Hungarian, and Metis—is rich in history, from which she draws inspiration. Each piece Martin creates reflects her individuality, spirit, and connection to her cultural roots, making her artistic practice both personal and deeply rooted in the stories and traditions that shape her identity.
