Hi!

I'm Mari! I am a freelance illustrator from Weimar.

I worked as a bookseller for 8 years and I still have a passion for books and wanted to get more creative in the field, so I started my own art business in 2019. Since then, I have taken many workshops (Domestika, James Gurney, Drink and Draws) to hone my technical and visual skills. I am self-taught and want to share my enthusiasm for traditional and digital art.

My work is inspired by anime, nature, dark fairy tales and creatures and my focus is primarily on strong female characters.

In the last three years, I have had the pleasure of working with some of my favourite authors. Among them are Kathrin Tordasi with her books "bramble fox" and "Nachtschattenwald", as well as Christian Handel with his young adult book "Thornhill Hall - das verborgene Zimmer".

Commissions are open. To enquire about my work availability and conditions, feel free to email me at: [email protected]
