I AM MARI W.

I’m a Visual Storyteller.

I am an artist. I climb mountains. And I want to share my stories to help others.

To those who seek in the dark,

WELCOME

This is a space for those who are searching for something in the dark, but are yet to discover what that is.

To those who seek themselves, adventure, community, self-growth, artistic self-expression, and visual storytelling this is a space for you.

From the darkest places I have ever found myself in, I searched for a light to pull me out. And it was in the darkest places I did not want to search, that I found the answers I was looking for.

I am a soul who found home within myself through Nature and the outdoors, and mindful living and healing. I want to connect with others who are seeking that light they want to find but don’t know where to look.

A message to those who seek in the dark ->
About Mari

ARTIST.

SOUL OF NATURE.

Former industry expert and full time creative director and producer, turned freelancer. Mari has an extensive career and has crafted a notable portfolio over 15 years.

But none of those things define her.

After a long period of darkness, Mari has found her voice and artistic expression as an artist and creative storyteller whose language resonates across cultures and borders and speaks to the core of our collective existence as humans.

“Visual Storytelling is my
creative expression as an Artist”

This is the deepest expression of who I am
– telling stories to connect with others”

“Mari Wahrhaftig “Mari” is essentially the modern day reincarnation of Alexander von Humboldt … but armed with modern day cameras and equipment rather than the pen and paper that were available during the 19th century.”

THROUGH A DIFFERENT LENS

MY WORK

In my life journey of longing, self-discovery, and a profound connection with Nature and the world, I’ve emerged as a storyteller whose lens transcends borders and labels.

I am not defined by heritage but rather by the universal language of the human experience.
