I love drawing and creative projects. I am by no means an expert but I would love to try it out! I use my own editing tools on my face and body all of the time for my pictures. I find it extremely fun and interesting. I can draw faces typically and that would be my expertise. But, like I said- I am by no means a professional. However, I charge a hefty amount!

She has a great love of working with pastels and oil – but also dabbles in acrylics and watercolours. Her sculptures have found homes internationally. Marianne is a published illustrator having worked on a number of books over various disciplines – from a book of romantic poetry for a client, to a book on soil, and most recently with her foray into children’s illustrations.

I have been passionate about art in all it's forms as far back as I can remember. I have had an overpowering desire to attempt to learn everything and do everything. In order to be the best I can be at my craft I have tackled all forms of art from stone carving to silver casting, from 3D animation and motion graphics to traditional print design and advertising. I believe having your finger in every pie allows you to create a more complete and whole product. Please visit my online portfolio for a more complete picture of what I can do.
