Maria Ahrens

Hi there! I’m Maria Ahrens, and I am a watercolor artist and fashion illustrator based here in Minneapolis, MN.

I create detailed paintings with thoughtful pops of color and contrast. My artwork is most often inspired by fashion, people, architecture, and nature. I would describe most of my work as aspirational, feminine, and occasionally a bit whimsical. I like to paint things that make people smile.

In addition to selling my paintings and prints, I take on a variety of commissions and collaborations – family and pet portraits, real estate illustration, fashion sketches, brand images, etc. I also do live illustrations at weddings and events.

Thank you for your interest in my artwork!
