About Maybe
Maybe is Tonya Dean, born in Buffalo, NY but struggled to make peace with the weather, art scene, and boring desk jobs. She moved to Seattle, WA to start over.
Maybe has developed their style by creating themes from different areas of study that explode into abstract psychedelic pieces. Maybe draws inspiration from a broad background of dance, music, science, pop culture, different hobbies, and the strangeness of daily life.
Maybe is a mixed-media artist, painting and drawing with graphite, pen, inks, watercolor, gouache, and acrylic. She tries a little bit of everything; live-painting, art markets, and group shows. She also creates artwork for event posters, handbills, logos, and merchandise for local musicians and small businesses. Maybe creates artwork with central themes of geometric patterns and surreal illustration, playing with a more loose style for abstract pieces and a more detail-oriented style for illustrative pieces.
Maybe’s process involves observation and experimentation. Learning is a hands-on experience, she studies different techniques and mediums to see what expresses her ideas best. Repetition and surreal elements are meant to draw the viewer inward, the mind often finds recognizable patterns that add meaning in the piece.
