Maria Gehrke, a multifaceted watercolor artist and IT professional, bridges the gap between technology and art, focusing on nature and mindfulness. Since moving from Germany to Wisconsin in 2007, she has found inspiration in nature and her personal mindfulness journey, creating her unique art series like "Windows to Nature" and "Mini Portals To Tranquility." These culminated in her 2023 project, "Your Portal To Your Refuge," a collaborative art experience designed to manifest tranquil spaces for her clients.

Alongside her artistic endeavors, Maria co-founded the Becoming Mindful Podcast in 2021, aiming to explore and share her mindfulness journey with a broader audience and encourage others on this path.
