"I am not satisfied with simply ordinary. Not in art, nor in life."

Hello! My name is Marie and I am a professional artist and art teacher. I have a B.F.A. in Visual Arts and an M.A.T. in Art Education K-12. A New York native, ocean addict, and green-living enthusiast, I now live in Hawaii where I teach elementary art and work towards growing my artistic practice.

My work focuses on animals, plants, birds and sea life. Pet portraits are always welcome and I am also currently in love with painting fruits, vegetables and herbs on garden stones and mini canvases!

My media of choice are predominantly acrylic and watercolor paints, printmaking, graphite, and colored pencil. I do however, have a love of experimentation so I continue to dabble in new art materials and techniques.  In the future I would like to have a dual profession as an illustrator. Commissions are welcome and taken regularly.
