Maria Hayes is an inspirational artist. During the past twelve years I have worked on numerous dance/art projects, which have without exception been delightfully satisfying. Her willingness and ability to both initiate and respond within a workshop situation is highly valuable. Her workshops are accessible to all ages and abilities and communicate her skill and passion for the arts. Maria brings with her a wide palate of colours that have the potential to enrich everyone's lives.
