Brief Bio: Name:
Maya Sarada Devi Kearn (Kearn is my married name) Also known
by Maya Sarada Devi for my writings in philosophy.
Brief Bio: Born
in 1959 in Los Angeles. Studied Painting and Drawing at Art Center
College of Design, Pasadena. Wrote Regaining 
Consciousness
in The Western World: Radical Essays on the Human Experience
in1990, In Love: Conflict Resolution for Couples in 1992, wrote
and illustrated two children’s books not yet published:
"The Box Turtle Mystery", and "Gathering Angels".
I have a large portfolio of dolls I have made over the years,
most of which I have given to friends and family or sold the
people who wanted them. But I have not made any dolls in a long
time, have not written or illustrated any books in a long time,
and choose to focus on painting canvases. My husband and I own
and are the innkeepers of The
Londonderry Inn in South Londonderry, Vermont. It is a 27
room Bed and Breakfast Inn (we use 5 of the guest rooms as our
owner’s quarters). It is 
there
at The Londonderry Inn that I have my art studio, and that we
have the space to display my paintings all over the inn. My paintings
have been shown all over California, where we used to live, and
I was featured as “artist of the year” in The Press
Democrat, the main Sonoma County Daily Newspaper (Circulation
250,000). That was exciting, and the one-woman show which ran
for six months at Millenium Gallery in Sebastopol was an important
time for me. With three teenage children and an inn to run, I
find that I paint approximately 20 new paintings a year. Most
of them are on canvases 30 x 30 inches (square canvases) or 24
x 30 inches, although I am starting to do some murals now, and
interested in learning stained glass, or creating stained glass
effects on my paintings. Anyway, here are the paintings I was
able to photograph for this website. Many of my paintings have
been sold over the years, and are not represented here, but you
can get a sense of the style I work in, and the feeling expressed
on my canvases.
