Art that captures you - your story, your spirit, your moment in time

Whether you’re looking to honour a loved one, add warmth to a space, or celebrate a meaningful milestone, I create artworks that connect on a deeply personal level. From soulful portraits to live sketches drawn in real time, my work is about emotion, story, and shared humanity.

I’m Mae Gonzalez - a portrait artist and mixed media painter based in Australia. I specialise in expressive portraiture that blends realism with colour, texture, and heart. Every piece I create is a collaboration - a reflection of your story, brought to life through my hands.

My path to becoming a full-time artist wasn’t linear. After navigating personal challenges, health journeys, and career shifts, I returned to what had always been my grounding force: art. For me, painting isn’t just passion - it’s healing, purpose, and connection.

Today, from my home studio, I offer:

• Original artworks that bring depth and vibrancy to your space

• Commissioned portraits that honour identity, emotion, and story

• Live online sketch sessions that celebrate presence and people in the moment

• If you’re drawn to art that tells a story - your story - I’d be honoured to create something meaningful with you. Let’s bring your vision to life, together.
