My name is Lizelda and I am the designer and illustrator behind all of the illustrations for Mauras Artsy Designs. As an artist I love turning photo memories into illustrations so it felt natural to start Mauras after receiving my B-tech degree in Multimedia design and working as a freelance graphic designer for a year after studying.

The main mascot (as seen on the logo) and inspiration behind the Mauras Artsy Designs company is a dog who is of course named Maura and that name was inspired by a character in the television series Rizzoli & Isles. 

Most if not all of the work typically incorporates or is inspired by animals or nature. Currently Mauras is mainly focused on digital illustrations created from pet photos or photos from some of people’s fondest memories like  special occasions or just that one person who is important to you but there is also some style experimenting happening in between.
