Martje Lammigje "Maya" Wildevuur (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈmɑrcə ˈlɑmɪxjə ˈmaːjaː ˈʋɪldəvyr]; 24 July 1944 – 11 April 2023) was a Dutch painter. She began making art professionally with flower arrangements and silk landscape collages. She founded art galleries in 1984 and 1992, the former becoming the subject of a long legal battle with her son. She is recognized for her use of bold, contrasting colors in her paintings.
