Landmarks Art Mariann creates her paintings to meet your specifications.

A landmark piece may depict a location including but not limited to architecture and adjacent grounds, historically recorded estates, town scenes, home and building facades, as well as, parks and natural protected areas.

Architectural details may be designed to stand alone or complement the line you carry. Themes such as seasonal and nautical are also offered. Paintings can be completed for your gift or museum shop, special functions and commemorative events, fundraisers and celebrations.

Mariann enjoys working with her clients throughout the design process. After discussing the project, please send a full photograph along with separate close up detailed photos, such as windows and other architectural elements that may not be visible. Mariann is available to visit your landmark upon special arrangement to photograph and study your location, getting a true feel for the history and place.

Once the painting is completed, a sample product is sent for your review. Upon approval, the image may be reproduced on any of Mariann’s products to carry in your personal line.

Lighthouses Never far from the sea, Mariann has always loved the experience of walking the beach. “I am grateful to discover the jewels that nature offers; sea glass, driftwood, stones and shells. They are my diamonds, found treasures washed ashore reminiscent of nautical history and place.�

Living in New England Mariann has the opportunity to appreciate the monumental lighthouses standing guard against the mysteries of the calm, and at times stormy sea. The history of generations standing watch for travelers has inspired hundreds of her paintings.

Nautical Mariann’s large collection of original works are inspired by her coastal New England upbringing and her many trips through the coastal south.

She is always on the lookout for inspiration and often the experiences figure in her paintings.

Whether it be patterns in nature, boats or her favorite of all children playing at the beach.

Painted clouds are interpretations of those she gazes at during her walks. The color and texture of beach stones glistening in the sun make an impression in her minds eye.

Mariann finds a special essence in the ordinary and by shifting perspective the magic of artistic creation is revealed.

Wooden Plaques

Prints on wood come in a variety of different styles including square and rectangular plaques, magnets and ornaments. Each wooden piece is finished with a weathered texture.

Spring The sights, sounds, smells and feeling of Spring are filled with life. The miracle of flowers slowly poking their heads from the rich brown earth fills me with gratitude. A child playing or a couple holding hands makes an impression on me.

Holding much fascination and admiration within the experience, small magical happenings become the larger blueprint on which my creativity relies.

Painting in Spring provides me with the inspired urge to record so many wonderful moments and feelings giving rise to harmony and affinity with each and every brush stroke.

Miniature Prints

Miniature matted prints come with a magnet back and may also be displayed on a small easel. A variety of sizes are available for your landmark or thematic design.

Summer As soon as the weather turns warm and the days long, I head to the beach to feel the sun and breathe the salt air.

Ideas and inspiration flow as I walk along the waters edge. I pick up small treasures filled with meaning; heart shaped rocks, sea glass and small pieces of driftwood that each carry the beautiful essence of nature’s unique design.

Back at the studio, I often use photographic references from my summer explorations.

Trips to seaside towns, mariner landmarks, local farms and lazy afternoons enjoying friendship all inform the creation of new work.

Fall Fall is my favorite time of year.

The beauty of the vibrant colors and the cool “sweater weather� as I call it, brings to mind home, family and a sense of place.

Fall projects come from a place deep inside that touches my very soul. Pumpkins, the smell of smoke from the fires, mums, children playing in the leaves, birds flurrying to the feeders, and long walks. I love it all!

Looking out into the woods from my studio window, dipping my brush into the paint, expressions of the season are created.

Over the holiday season, consider having Mariann come to a special event.

She is available for seasonal engagements in your gift shop. A variety of her greeting cards are personalize and she is happy to meet with shoppers to write names on Santa’s List or a family name on a holiday door.

Winter The winter season is full of giving and celebration surrounded by friends and family.

All the while shorter days cast shadows on freshly fallen snow and the cozy warmth at home reveals a peaceful and creative space. I enjoy painting holiday scenes and seasonal details, though Santa is my favorite. The process of painting his unique personality and that twinkle in his eye has always made me smile.

Designing thoughtful paintings brings me back to my childhood, a happy time of creating cards and ornaments for families to hang on the tree.

I create in this very same manner today; connectedness, joy and happiness in mind.
