Why I can guide you on your journey:
Embracing my accomplishments as a female abstract artist has been hard won amidst the highly competitive atmosphere of art school and the art world. Having answers about who I am as an artist and how to make good paintings came from years of searching fueled by inherent determination.
I now know the questions that can help every artist who wants to make Whole Art:
What’s my work about and how do I convey that “story?"
What medium best expresses my inner voice and ideas?
Is my painting finished?
Is it compelling?
Consider signing up for 45-minute conversation with me where we’ll talk about what your goals are and how investing in an individual Whole Artist Mastery program can help you achieve your artistic aspirations.
Having been painting for 40 years, I can confidently say “I know what my work is about. I know when a painting is good, and why, and I can analyze what a painting is missing.”
I know to savor the euphoria of success and to be patient with the disappointment of rejection.
I recognize that knowing the whole experience has built a platform of authenticity where I stand confidently as a Whole Artist.
I believe an authentic voice paired with technical mastery fuels the confidence to go where you want to go as an artist.

Marianne has a keen sense and ability to see what's behind the image and inside the person. She asks the questions that not too many have answered for themselves before. Few art instructors go beyond the image and above the usual visual concerns.

You are truly an incredible person. In my experience, there are few artists who combine an artistic soul with the ability to teach painting techniques, support another artist’s developing vision, and also structure an environment (with engineering precision) so that these developments can occur. You have had a profound impact on my life.

Marianne is wise, insightful and incredibly talented and generous as an artist and mentor. I marvel at how truly warm and supportive she is with all of us, those in her mentorship programs and also those in the WAM community. The time I’ve spent with her over the last 18 months has helped me grow and develop my art practice and my outlook on life in general. Marianne is creating something truly special for artists, and I feel so fortunate to know and learn from her. If you're considering working with her, do it. The experience is worth every penny.
