Finding creative freedom through mediums of stillness and movement. shades of COlor and light. memories of words yet unknown.
MAri’s Story
Artist.
SOUL OF NAture.
Carrying both an undergraduate and graduate degrees in Fine Arts, and a 15-year-long career working as a lead creative in Audio Visual Arts, my path reached a crossroads in 2021.
It happened the day I first ever entered the Sierra Nevada.
I stood at the edge of a road, one that came all the way back through the Journey of my life and ended at a ledge looking into the unknown. I stared at the face of something I had no words for, and in that moment I felt echos of memories I had not yet lived. Spoken through light color and emotion, I heard the Granite whisper.
In that moment, I knew that I was standing at the edge of my own life. A beacon in time.
My life would either remain one of a growing list of credits and portfolios, or I could answer the call of the Mountain and take a whole new path, one where everything I didn’t know I could be waited for me on the other side of the unknown. But I had to take a step.
I chose the Mountain. I answer the call.
And I never looked back.

Finding creative freedom by not defining my creative expression
Where once there used to be to be a long paragraph describing achievents, projects and titles of a 15-year-long career as a creative in film and video industry, now there’s a canvas where the threads of my creative expression can begin to find their way towards a new form.
My art is a flowing expression between mediums that tell stories of color, light, darkness, feelings, and memories. Rooted in a deep connection with Nature.
“All the paths of my life always led to the moment I first entered the Sierra Nevada. That was when my soul begun to speak”
My Journey
My journey as an artist has been forever changed when I found my profound connection with Nature. And in that process so has my life.
I have learned to find my voice as an artist whose creative expression transcends borders and labels.
I am not defined by heritage but rather by the universal language of the human experience.
