ABOUT THE ARTIST

Maira holds a BA in Illustration, a certificate in Art Fundamentals and a Diploma as a Paralegal.

Maira has a passion for illustration, design, law, justice, and social change. She has loved art, detective, and true crime stories since she was a young child. Her attachment to mystery and her previous life experiences led her to take courses in criminology, history, politics and psychology while she studied art. Those courses were her inspiration to further her education on the subject of law. She eventually decided to pursue a career in the legal field.

As an artist, Maira creates digital and traditional illustrations, graphic designs, and paintings. She has had the pleasure of working with many different creative clients, providing custom designs and commissions. Aside from that, she has also had the pleasure of teaching art to people of varying ages and abilities.

In her legal career Maira has interests in Human Rights and Intellectual Property. Maira particularly enjoys conducting legal research. She likes to examine how the law has been interpreted in the past and how those interpretations will serve in the present. Maira is a licensed Paralegal within the Province of Ontario, though she is currently not providing legal services. Maira currently works full time at a law firm as a legal assistant.
