Hi, I'm Maria. I am a mother of three wonderful children. Two are adults, age 21 and 24. My youngest just turned 15.

I am a graphic artist by trade, but I also work on websites and I write articles and other materials. I now work at a company in Poway, CA that manufactures pad printers and parts for those machines. They also mix ink and produce photopolymer, thin steel and permanent steel plates. I started off as the artist who produced the artwork for those plates. But, I've since been promoted, and I now work on their website and handle sales and promotional materials.

I like to do a variety of things including camping, fishing, walking along the beach and in the park. I like going shopping with my daughter and going to the movies, as well as museums. I also enjoy street faires, earth day events and other fun stuff like that.
