Career

After moving to Richmond, VA in 1994, Maria continued to work in watercolors, drawing with pencil and ink, with an emphasis on architectural renderings, urban and country landscapes. She then extended her talents in traditional art into the electronic arts. As a mixed-media artist, she frequently merges both art forms in creating her illustrated maps and other illustration, to achieve the warmth of hand creations combined with the utility and flexibility of layers and PDFs needed for production and proofing. Maria Rabinky became a well-known map illustrator creating pictorial maps for various applications.
Maria is a member of the Graphic Artists Guild, Society of Architectural Illustrators.

Maria Rabinky is founder, owner and principal of the art studio Rabinky Art, LLC located in Richmond, VA.
