This drawing captures Abbey Road Studios — one of the most iconic sites in contemporary music history. A lifelong Beatles fan, I found it surreal to stand where so many of my favorite recordings were made and to see the zebra crossing immortalized on an album cover. My sister and I even crossed the road hand in hand, a small, personal moment that became a bucket-list memory. The work acts as a window into that place of creative magic, inviting the viewer to bring a piece of music history into their home.

Maria Deely (b. 1999) is a West Virginia University graduate and the founder of Deely Drawings LLC. Working primarily in colored pencil, Maria builds exquisitely detailed, photorealistic drawings that aim to bring viewers a sense of peace and quiet reflection. She launched her business at 19 and has continued to refine her technique while making work that maps personal and meaningful places. Living with cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) has shaped her practice—rather than limiting it, Maria embraces those constraints and channels them into a steady, focused studio discipline. Her drawings evoke memory, place, and calm, inviting the viewer into intimate landscapes of the heart.
