biography

Born and raised in Hong Kong, Maria Lobo’s art training took her to Italy, Spain and the USA. Studying at the University of Santa Clara and the San Francisco Art Institute, she gained degrees in Fine Art and Painting in 1985. Having been part of the San Francisco Hunters Point artists’ community Maria returned to Hong Kong in 1994 and now spends her time between San Francisco, Vancouver and Hong Kong. Her work has been exhibited internationally.

The work is “East Meets West” in both imagery and technique. Maria looks inwardly at her own heritage for inspiration. Her work reflects her own multi-cultural background and history, as well as the East/West environment in which she lives.

In addition to gallery shows, Maria is commissioned to create site specific works for residential, as well as hospitality clients, internationally.
