Maria Hansford

My Italian heritage and the 15 years I lived in Pakistan greatly influence my artwork. I have always loved art and creating things. Several years ago, I fell in love with bead embroidery. It is a highly versatile technique that allows me to combine different media and materials. My artwork includes repurposed vintage jewellery components, fused glass and vintage cabochons and any other object that may inspire me to tell a new story through my creations. Each piece is unique, embodies my holistic vision of the world, and is meant to inspire and uplift its viewers.
