My name is Marian; I am an illustrator and creator based out of Des Moines, Iowa. My work focuses on plants and animals as I am interested in the depiction, education, and restoration of the natural world.

I’m a traditionally trained artist with a passion for the natural world, fantastical tales, and small beautiful things. If I’m not lost in thought, admiring my houseplants, or planning my garden, odds are good I’m listening to music or playing with my dog Bear instead.
