Maiana Rose

East Coast Born, Maiana grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she attended highschool at Santa Fe Preparatory school. She went on to attend Pitzer College, of the Claremont colleges, graduating in 2014 with a BA in interdisciplinary media studies, fine arts, and anthropology. After which, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in entertainment and art. Maiana found an avenue to meld her love of comedy and art when she decided to start an illustrated Instagram account from which she lovingly mocks social media trends. Also, she attempts to bring to light some issues society faces surrounding social media, mostly, the amount of importance people place on it. Maiana sees "Oh, The Pics That You’ll Post!" as a way to poke light fun at ourselves, while also sending a message to the up and coming generations that Instagram and other social media platforms are “life.” Out of her illustrated series, she began a line of postcards which she sold to local retailers around Los Angeles, then moved on, to begin her career as an author, putting out her first book “Oh, The Pics That You’ll Post!” which she will also be selling as a digital collectible through publica, along with a series of NFTs. She hopes to continue authoring books and making art with an edge of social commentary and humor.
