About Maria Brettell

Maria Brettell is a painter and author living in Santa Clara, Utah. She taught Spanish for many years, and her love of language and story runs through everything she makes — from her paintings to her books. She is the author of Abuela: Vida y Poesía, Poemas de sanación, and the children's series Lola Learns Spanish. Her gallery, Santa Clara Art Works, is where her paintings live — and prints of her work are coming soon.
