developed her fascination in portraiture and equestrian art. She pursued her
degree thru multiple universities, collecting a wealth of knowledge from different
worlds of thought, culminating in a BFA through Midwestern State University with

creates her large, representational paintings with the use of bright colors and
simple backgrounds, accentuating her subject’s mood and personality. Marie has
a strong drive to continually progress her artistic style through her own personal
work and commission work. She also hosts art demonstrations and workshops to
