Hey there! My name is Mariat. I've always loved art, but only realized my passion for painting as a student in high school. I enjoy giving my paintings to others, so most of them are made with the thought of specific people in mind. I feel as though leaving a piece of something I made with others is like leaving a piece of me in different cities. Loving the feel of brushstrokes and acquiring satisfaction from throwing colors onto canvas, I have decided to share the results of my journey as I practice to better my artistic skills. You can also find my explorations into photography and poetry here. I can only hope that you find my work as expressive and meaningful as I do. Thanks for stopping by!
