One Year of Wordless News

This morning marks the one year anniversary of Wordless News. I had no idea that a little doodle of a fancy hat would change my career and daily routine in such a grand way. I am so thankful for all of the support that my friends and family have shown over the past year. It has been absolutely fun, exhausting, and truly rewarding.  And I cannot express my gratitude to all of the strangers who have started following along and reached out with messages of encouragement and thanks. I plan to continue Wordless News in the foreseeable future and am excited for the opportunities this project has given me to grow in so many ways. If you'd like to see the full work from the past year just go to the ALL STORIES section on the blog. 

Cheers,
Maria

P.S. Currently there is a winter storm showering my studio and the possibility of power loss is considerable. If Wordless News disappears for the next two days just know that it isn't a vacation, it's the lack of electricity keeping me from posting. Stay warm! 

Wordless News on NPR

I can not express how excited I am to be collaborating with Morning Edition this coming week! This project has been in the works for a while but I've kept it quiet. My little interview with David Greene went on air to introduce the project this past Friday and I had an overwhelming response from strangers all over the country. I am surprised and grateful for all of the thoughtful comments and well wishes that have come my way. I'm so encouraged and motivated for this coming week. 

If you're interested in following along you'll be able to see the images on Wordlessnews.com, NPR.org and on Twitter/Instagram under #wordlessnews. Thanks for all of the support!

Happy New Year!

I'm starting this year with a new digital and physical space. I'm certainly missing the joy and companionship of my WECO family but I am loving the peace and surface area of the new studio. The studio space has been in the works since late July but only recently has it become a place of inspiration and comfort. Here are a few images of where I'm currently makin' and listening to old school Hanson — don't judge. 

cheers,
