Masturah Sha'ari, co-owner of Maya Gallery, has not had the typical artistic journey one might expect of an art enthusiast and gallery owner.
She graduated from the National University of Singapore (NUS) in 1992 with a major in Economics and Malay Studies as well as a minor in Statistics. It was not until many years later that her love for art and design led her to LASALLE College of the Arts, where she obtained a Diploma in Design Communication in 2000.
