Maria Jayaraj Bio

 

Handcrafted Sculptures.
"Created from the Heart, in Kabbi Kabi Country, Sunshine Coast, Australia."

Hello, I’m Maria Jayaraj 

I’m a Ceramic Artist, Sound Healer, and Creator of Ultimate Organics Body Care products, living and working on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. 

My ceramic work can be found in the Noosa Art Gallery, located on the Sunshine Coast.

I was first inspired by Sculpting on a trip to Italy many years ago, I began my journey with the clay, at Eramboo Artist Environment, Terry Hills, Sydney, where Susan and Greg encouraged free thinking and creativity. 

My inspiration comes from connecting with nature and to the divine.  My passion for sculpting is one of many other loves, especially for the healing arts, where I have dipped my toe into, Reiki, Meditation, Sound Healing, Access Bars, Bach Flower Remedies and Sacred Space facilitating and Nutrition. 

My passion for creating meditative tranquil spaces in my home and garden has been my inspiration to expand and share my pieces. These beautifully handcrafted soulful creations are often enhanced with crystals, gold leaf, crystal codes, shells, feathers and whatever is required to create the highest frequency. 

My home, & garden are intricately woven together as extensions of my devotion to be continually creative. They also allow me the freedom to live and work true to my passion. 

"The biggest appeal of clay, is being able to make something out of nothing.  To make an indelible artwork, sourced from the Earth, that holds an energy that is palpable." Maria

REVIEWS:

"Maria's work brings a smile to my face and joy to my heart.  Standing before it, I am stripped of artifice (as is the work) and I find myself deaf to the clamourings of the outside world.  For a few precious moments I feel a deep connection to my soul's truth, to my inner knowing, and I'm at peace.

For countless years, I have stood just so, gazing at my sculpture of Maria's, whom I call Namaste Girl.  Her form is both delightfully whimsical and deeply spiritual, while her green colour derives from the heart chakra, her loving presence invites me into a deeper experience of love."  Narelle Nicholls, Sculptor 

"I have been blessed to welcome a few of Maria's sculptures into my home, supporting the energy of the space they reside in.  Her sculptures feel like Angels and Master Healers are living in my home." Hamish
