Biography
Raised in Paris, Maya Starr studies at the Collège des Arts Appliqués and takes courses in art history at the Louvre. She begins to work as an illustrator at the Marey Institute and later at the Concours Medical journal.
In 1966, she moves to the United States and initially pursues a career as an illustrator for different publishers and magazines, including Little Brown & Company in Boston and Women’s Day Magazine in New York.
In the 80’s, Maya starts oil painting and exhibits her work in Philadelphia, Los Angeles and Chicago in the United States, as well as in prestigious galleries in France, Italy, Switzerland, Great Britain, Spain, Sweden, Germany, Holland, Poland and Japan. She participates in numerous group shows and is regularly invited to Art en Capital at the Grand Palais in Paris. Maya’s paintings are acquired by museums, such as the Musée d’Art Naif, Québec, Canada, and by corporate and private collections around the world. Since 2002, she lives with her husband in the Aosta Valley in Italy. She recently illustrated a book of Italian legends, entitled “Piemonte Fantasioso”. Her paintings also are presented in an art book dedicated to Cats. This edition is part of a Contemporary Animal Art collection published in France.
The inspiration for my paintings comes from my childhood experiences, growing up In Paris near the Montsouris Park with its majestic trees, luxurious vegetation and abundant flowers and spending my summer vacations at my grandmother's house in the Italian Alps.
