About Maia Arts

Maia Arts is the home of Thea and Eric Maia, and their collective and individual artistic endeavors.

My name is Thea Maia and I don’t remember a time in my life where I wasn’t doing some form of art. I am the forth out of five generations (so far) of women with college art degrees who have become artists and art educators.

In my freshman year of college, I became the first Presidential Scholarship student in the long history of the University of Southern California to both major in Art and become a member of their prestigious Honor’s Program.

I'm Eric Maia, also known as celadon, an artist, musician, and Web programmer from Seattle. My background is in the visual arts, and I collaborate on art projects with my wife Thea (more about that in her bio).

I've been making music as celadon for the last 5 years or so, exploring ambient, industrial, noise, and improvised/ experimental styles and performing music for butoh dance and other performances.
