Maria Tina Beddia was born and raised on the green grasses of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. She received her BFA in Printmaking from the California College of Arts and Crafts in 2007.
Currently based in Philadelphia, she spends her days in her studio painting and designing while also teaching hand lettering at the University of the Arts. Her dogs Bruce and Willie like to watch her create and find all the crumbs she drops under her desk.
Proceeds of JIGGY Originals go the artists directly as well as the Artist Relief fund, supporting artists of all disciplines facing financial emergencies due to Covid-19.
