About Sabina Maria
Sabina Maria is a Polish-Canadian watercolour artist and surface pattern designer based in Edmonton, Alberta, known for her hand-painted florals, botanical motifs, and heritage-inspired patterns designed for wallpaper, textiles, and lifestyle goods.
Her work blends heart, nature’s beauty, charm, and a love for all things whimsical — resulting in artwork that is expressive, soulful, and rich with artisanal detail.
Over the years, Sabina has licensed her designs across North America with partners such as Funky Paper Co., Laurel & Blush, Luma Walls Decor, LivLush, and Wallpaper Online Canada. Her collections also include exclusive wallpaper lines with Loomwell, premium peel-and-stick wallpaper, fabric and home décor via Spoonflower, and an expanding portfolio of prints available for commercial and editorial licensing.
Artistic Style & Inspiration
Sabina’s creative process is rooted in slow living, observation, and emotional storytelling.
Each design begins with a hand-painted illustration — often inspired by:
- European gardens
- heirloom textiles and antiques
- seasonal natural palettes
- quiet, intuitive moments of inspiration
- places imbued with spiritual and historical meaning
- travel moments & memories
Her aesthetic leans toward soft, romantic, and feminine motifs, with a playful blend of bold hues and soothing neutrals. She captures the charm of European gardens, vintage florals, and painterly textures, bringing a sense of history and warmth to modern interiors.
Creative Journey
Before becoming a surface designer, Sabina explored various artistic paths including hand-crafted concrete home décor, calligraphy, line art, and fine art watercolour painting. These early explorations shaped her unique ability to merge artistic expression with functional design.
Beyond the studio, you’ll find her spending time with family, baking sourdough, traveling, studying astrology and human design, practicing kundalini, and connecting with nature. She believes deeply in the power of slowness, intentional living, and creating from presence.
