As a published photographer, videographer, and stylist, Monica has partnered with an array of noteworthy brands in food, fashion, lifestyle, and creative industries, helping them weave their captivating stories to life through striking visuals.

Her work is designed to captivate, ignite curiosity, and inspire action. Whether traversing backstage at New York Fashion Week, immersing herself in the world of a Sonoma winemaker, or elbow deep in the kitchen of an Atlanta Chef, her approach is consistent, producing an inspiring, wanderlust inducing collection of work.

Maria is the artist behind Preserved Press’ inaugural design. Her citrus collages are what initially drew me to her work. Maria is a painter and collage artist whose love of color comes from growing up in Bogota, Colombia. Her hope is to create work that conveys a feeling of joy. Maria currently works and resides in Roanoke, Virginia.

Preserved Press is looking to collaborate with an artist on a new cookbook design each year. Are you an artist interested in collaborating? Maybe you have an artist to recommend? I would love to connect, see your work, and tell you more about the Preserved Press process. (artwork for Preserved Press by Maria Osorio Driscoll)
