mariaENTIS
	Vancouver based artist, Maria Entis was born in Yokohama, Japan and moved to San Francisco at the age of ten. After attending the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, she worked as a graphic designer in various traditional and electronic media. Her work for clients such as pioneering animation studio Pacific Data Images (now DreamWorks Animation), Sanrio and KRON-TV earned her many awards, including an Emmy (for outstanding achievement in graphic design). In 1993, Entis returned to her roots as a fine artist. Her work combines the refined design sensibilities of her native Japan with the lively, colorful exuberance she developed during her years as a designer and illustrator. Her work captures energy – channeling a spontaneous, organic even playful exploration of paint and texture into a well- ordered, balanced, contemplative whole. She has exhibited in Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area and Vancouver. Entis’ works are in private and corporate collections in the USA, Canada and the UK “I’ve always been inspired by Japanese art which starts with nature or a simple gesture, but delivers a sublime experience of refinement.” Maria Entis Two Eggs 2012 Acrylic on canvas 36" x 36" Available in Vancouver Inner Nest Desires 2011 Acrylic on canvas 36" x 36" Available in Vancouver Temple Offerings - Blue Meditation 2011 Acrylic on canvas 48" x 36" Available in Vancouver Inner Nest II 2010 Acrylic on canvas 36" x 36" Available in Vancouver Emerging stream I 2009 Mixed media on canvas 12" x 12" SOLD Emerging stream II 2009 Mixed media on canvas 12" x 12" SOLD Inner Nest 2010 Acrylic on canvas 36" x 36" SOLD Silent Nest 2010 Acrylic on canvas 12" x 12" SOLD Spring memory 2010 Acrylic on canvas 12" x 12" SOLD Three in a Nest 2010 Acrylic on canvas 12" x 12" SOLD Gone Forever 2010 Acrylic on canvas 12" x 12" SOLD Released 2009 Mixed media on canvas 36" x 36" SOLD Family 2009 Acrylic on canvas 12" x 12" SOLD One and Only 2009 Acrylic on canvas 12" x 12" SOLD Precious Two 2009 Acrylic on canvas 12" x 12" SOLD Whispered Meditation 2008 Mixed media on canvas 48" x 36" SOLD Into the Brush 2008 Mixed media on canvas 36" x 48" SOLD Dreamscape 2008 Mixed media on canvas 36" x 36" SOLD Forest Journey 2008 Mixed media on canvas 36" x 36" SOLD Golden Rhapsody 2008 Acrylic on canvas 30" x 40" SOLD Symphony 2008 Acrylic on canvas 24" x 36" SOLD Summer's Lament 2008 Mixed media on canvas 24" x 24" SOLD Upstream 2008 Acrylic on canvas 24" x 24" SOLD Downstream 2008 Mixed media on canvas 24" x 24" SOLD Across the Valley 2008 Mixed media on canvas 24" x 24" SOLD artist's cv Please contact the gallery for more information and images.
