Maria Ahrens is a self-taught watercolor artist and fashion illustrator based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Her background in the fashion industry has a significant influence on her artwork. She also draws inspiration from people, architecture, nature, and her travels. Her watercolor paintings are remarkably detailed, and she often uses contrast and color to direct the eye and influence perception.
