About the Artist
Marina’s career in art and fashion spans over two decades. Marina graduated from Parsons School of Design with a BFA in Fashion Design. She’s also designed and stepped into the Creative Director role for multiple leading fashion brands in Canada and internationally. In 2019, Marina launched her own line of distinct aesthetic of dreamy watercolors paired with luscious materials for a luxury collection of sustainable, wearable art pieces.
Her happiest days are spent making art—and sharing it with others. Marina happily lives on the Naramata Bench in Beautiful British Columbia. Where she facilitates paint therapy watercolor workshops to help others unlock their passion and exceed their wildest dreams. And when she’s not advocating for the causes dear to her heart, she’s in her studio with a glass of wine, listening to music and painting a watercolor world.
