Maria Klippenstein
Maria was born in Southern Manitoba and was raised as an orthodox Mennonite. She grew up in the Chortitze Mennonite Community in Manitoba.
The family emigrated from Russia in 1874 when the Mennonites faced persecution in Russia.
Mennonites are practising pacifist people and will not take up arms. Maria’s art is an extension of her Mennonite heritage and represents the feelings and experiences she remembers of that life. Maria resides in Kelowna, BC.
