Marianne M.

With over 33 years experience drawing and painting for clients, Marianne works with acrylic paint, watercolors, gouache, and mixed media to make your business and product visually sparkle. Illustrations are hand painted in traditional media and digitally photographed. The deliverable is a jpeg file. Marianne's illustration process includes sketches, rounds of revisions, and final painted artwork. Courtroom Sketching, on-the-spot drawing, and business portraits are available. Illustrations and painting projects are completed on time and in a professional manner. Leaning toward saturated colors, highly rendered brushwork, and creative conceptualization, Marianne's painting has been called "Graphically electrifying" and "Like magical realism".
