    In the second of Xara Xone’s Featured Artists for 2014, we were fortunate enough to find a treasure trove of Xara artwork by Maya Doka (Crow Haven), TalkGraphics member and an extraordinarily gifted artist in many types of media.

    Step inside and take a look at a gallery that has themes but is at the same time diverse in subject material, and a beauty to behold. We also had a little time to ask Maya questions concerning her art, her motivations, preferences, and advice for newcomers to Xara Designer. Get a delightful earful and eyeful right here.

    Maya,

    It is a pleasure to learn a little more about you. I especially love the cat drawing.

    Lovely work Maya, the two cat drawings especially as I am a cat person but all your work is inspirational.

    It is super idea to have an interview with the artist, thanks it was great to read.

    Maya you really deserved, my favourite is of course the blue eye, but also the cat and the black bird at the writing desk

    Many thanks Frances, Stygg and Csehz! I'm glad you enjoyed viewing the gallery and thank you for the kind replies.
    Yes, I'm a cat person -- I have the enjoyment of being owned by 3!

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    Stygg -- Cats figure us out only too easily, I'm afraid.

    Larry -- Thanks so much for taking a look at the gallery!
