Styled By Styleista: Avenue Magazine Aug 2014 - Maya Gohill

"Maya Gohill’s style — both in art and in fashion — draws from a sense of nostalgia where Star Wars reigns supreme and The Littlest Hobo is the ultimate 
tragic figure."

"If you’ve been to Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters’ new Mission location, chances are you’re familiar with Maya Gohill’s work. The Calgary-born painter is responsible for the captivating portraits of the coffee shop’s owners that hang on the wall at the back of the new café. The paintings are like the artist herself — eclectic, stylish, colourful and filled with a sense of wonder."  - Ricky Zayshley (Associate Editor Avenue Magazine)
