About Me

IMG_6521.png

I’m Marie — an artist, author, and art therapy practitioner whose work is shaped by mindfulness, creativity, and the quiet presence of nature.

 

After a brain injury changed the course of my life, I had to learn to see, feel, and express myself in new ways. Nature became my compass. Photography helped me notice light again. Painting helped me release what words couldn’t hold. Writing helped me make meaning. And walking in nature reminded me that healing comes in small, steady steps.

 

Through my watercolor art, photography, blogs, workshops, and my book The Voice Returns, I invite others into the same reflective space: a place where slowing down becomes possible, where self-expression feels safe, and where your inner voice can return with clarity and strength.

 

My work is rooted in the belief that creativity heals, awareness transforms, and nature teaches us how to begin again.

This is the path I walk. And it’s the path I offer you through my framework — Reflect, Create, Become™.

My Work

Those four gateways — the brush, the lens, the page, and the path — became the foundation of my creative life and the heart of everything I now share.

Art

Through the brush

Art as a language of healing and becoming.
Through watercolor, texture, and mixed media, I explore moments of fracture, light, and transformation—creating work that invites reflection rather than perfection. Each piece is an offering: a pause, a breath, a return to self.

Workshops

Through the path

Guided with poetry, art therapy, and reflection, each gathering offers space to slow down, listen inward, and rediscover your creative voice.

Photography

Through the lense

Seeing the world slowly, honestly, and with reverence. Through photography, I capture quiet details—paths, light, landscapes, and moments that remind us where we are. The lens becomes a way of noticing, grounding, and remembering what still holds us.
