Her practice spans a variety of mediums, including painting, film, photography, illustration, sculpture, installation, and poetry. Maya’s work has been featured in exhibitions, including at the Oxford Natural History Museum, Le 6b Paris, NYU Abu Dhabi Gallery, The Oxford Society for Art and Ecology's Flute and Bow, and the Tate Modern.
