Satya Ma Fine Arts

                   Oil Painting

Artist Bio

A retired Marriage and Family Therapist, Satya Ma paints primarily in oil. Her
artistic interests arise from her rich spiritual life which inspires her to paint
contemplative, joyful and peaceful subjects, whether they be depicted 
through portraiture, figure, still life or landscape.
Satya Ma strives to discover and express the sacredness of each subject she
encounters.  It is her aim to portray this in the most visually poetic and integral
way possible.

Satya Ma has shown her pieces in Open Studio as well as Morro Bay Art
Association and Beacon Art Show (all while living on the Central Coast of
California.) She is currently showing her work online at Pacific Northwest Art
School.  As a recent transplant to Whidbey Island in Washington State, (Oak
Harbor) she looks forward to engaging in the rich artistic opportunities this
beautiful region offers.

Artist Statement

For me, painting (primarily in oil) represents an extraordinary privilege, an
attempt to describe ineffable beauty, or a sacred moment. It is an earnest
effort to give thanks and to depict stillness through visual content.  When
painting landscapes or still life motif's, saints, Sages, Angels, Light Bearers
or Truth Tellers, (from any tradition) I am attempting to listen, and the painting
​is a pictorial representation of my hearing.  In short, when listening 
culminates in understanding, a beauty comes forth and shares something of
the ether from which it arose.  This is how I understand art, and
​attempt to honor that inclination.
