Inspired by the Pennsylvania Dutch barn paintings seen in the countryside near her hometown of Annville, Pennsylvania, Maria Mueller creates decorative folk art styled acrylic paintings. Having lived in Athens for the last six years, she is still continually intrigued by these ornate hex signs. The images seen in these designs have a connection to celebrating nature, love, prosperity and the celestial.

Maria has a background as an art educator but now enjoys creating paintings in various sizes and color palettes. She loves to create variations of the traditional hex signs on canvas as well as her own original designs. She creates commissioned paintings of various sizes and subject matter to complement her individual client's style and décor.

The whimsical, weathered and textured backgrounds she creates in her work are complimented by stylized animals, decorative geometric images and florals. Her paintings put a personal twist on a traditional art form that symbolizes love, happiness and good luck.
