Life:
Mais' painting career began when he was two, with a pilfered bottle of red nail polish intended for his sister. Red remains a favorite color, and one which he associates with the feminine. Mostly self-taught, he was encouraged by his family to pursue his calling. Mais believes that the world needs to save beauty and that painting is a creative force toward this end. His delightful paintings reflect this, as well as his belief that every artist who's ever painted has influenced his work.
