Painted with prayer & purpose
The Artist Maria Magdalena Oosthuizen Known as the "Artist of the People," Maria paints from a place of deep faith and vulnerability. Her subjects — mothers, children, women in prayer, farm scenes — reflect the heartbeat of South African life. With over 3,000 paintings sold and collectors across the globe, her work continues to carry a message that transcends gallery walls: that art, at its truest, is an act of love.
Today, her original artwork hangs in homes across South Africa and internationally, each piece thoughtfully created to inspire and uplift.
