Spring Onions
Graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Montclair State College in 1964, Maria Payer expected to pursue a lifelong career in the field of art education, but circumstance guised as opportunity intervened. International travel, marriage, an interior design career and multiple re-locations ensued over the years. Those many transfers and "new" surroundings served to stimulate her eclectic temperament and inspire her inventive thinking. While Ms. Payer’s roots are anchored in the learning process, it is the creative process that continues to exercise the greatest influence in her life.
A Signature Member of the New Jersey Watercolor Society, and the Philadelphia Water Color Society, Maria Payer is also a member of the Salem County Art League, the Society of New Jersey Artists and the Baltimore Watercolor Society. In 2020, she received the Silver Medal in the Mid-Atlantic Regional Watercolor Exhibition for her painting "Demoiselle".

"My paintings serve as a visual record. Some were inspired by location, others memorialize small but sensitive moments in a day. And, a few reflect personal encounters with special people
or connect with remembered experiences."

"My attraction to a particular subject is not limited. I am equally satisfied to experience the process through figurative studies, still life or landscape imagery. Watercolor excites me with its possibilities and prompts me to interpret a composition in a loose but representational style. "
