Maz McCorkle's digital portraits inspired by Lisbon are bursting with summery colours

After graduating from The University of Texas in Austin, she lived briefly in Nicaragua and re-located to Lisbon, where she illustrates for an animation studio. Beyond illustration, Maz works with mixed-media and ceramics, and her work has been displayed in San Diego, Mexico City, and Lisbon.

"I've lived in Portugal for over a year now and I've noticed that the colours and people that I see walking down the street are appearing in my work," says Maz. "The plan is for these characters and scenes, in addition to many more, to come together to create a large city scene that further explores, complicates, and relates each of them."
