Piece description from the artist
I portray vignettes from my travels in the Philippines by painting with layers of sprayed acrylic paint . This painting is a scene from the Underground River in Palawan, Philippines. It's a gigantic cave and national park which can be seen by paddleboat only. The guide is the only person who is allowed to carry a flashlight and who can illuminate the cave's interior.
Maria Stabio (b. San Francisco, CA) is a first generation Filipino-American artist. Through painting, she tells stories and shares personal experiences.
She graduated with a BFA in Painting from Boston University and an MFA in Visual Arts from Columbia University.
In 2015, she purchased and renovated the Grier City Schoolhouse, an historic four-room schoolhouse in rural Pennsylvania. She uses the property as her primary residence and studio.
She also works part-time at Alexandre Gallery in New York City. Her work has been shown in San Francisco, Boston, New York, and abroad.
