A 35 year old mother of three from Ohio. She began using the form of writing as a form of creativity and therapy as a young child. Writing in journals, she would write her thoughts, trials of life, as well as poems and short stories. Writing as well as any form of art, be it drawing, digital illustrations, photography, and just within this past year- her new found love make up artistry. These are forms of creativity that she uses daily in her life.

Maritza wishes that Maritza wouldn’t speak of herself in third person, but Maritza realizes this is some sort of bio thing and therefore, Maritza just rolls with it.
