Maria Castellano-Usery
Maria Castellano-Usery is an artist who has been referred to as a “local superwoman”. Maria has been raising money and awareness for more than 30 different local and national charities, non-profits, and causes since December 2015 through her monthly Brushstrokes With Impact™ “Paint-a-Thon” campaigns.
In June 2018, she quit her day job of designing closets and began cleaning houses instead; a few months later, “Everyone’s Got Cooties” was conceived.
Maria’s bright, lively, and playful images and poetry reveal simple truths about cleaning and the human condition in a way that makes you laugh as well as think.
She lives in Brunswick, Maine, with her husband, Terry, and their black cat, Cosmo.
