Dear Readers,

I am pleased to announce that my new website will be up and running by Nov 30, 2016 at http://www.maryancerina.com. Please follow me there for future posts and information on commissions, lessons, house portraits and my latest work.

Thank you for following me over the past two years.

This print is of a watercolour painting I did while living in Bangkok, Thailand. I became fascinated with lotus flowers while there, they’re so beautiful and such an important part of Thai culture. While walking in Bangkok’s largest park, Lumpini Park, I came across a small pond with a tangle of lotuses. I snapped a photo and then painted this in the studio of my artist friend and mentor, Russell Fadavi. I made several prints to give away to family and just came across my last remaining print. Let me know if you’re interested in having this print adorn your wall! Print of Lotuses in Lumpini Park, Thailand 15.5″ x 12″ $60

I would describe myself as an eclectic artist. I paint in different styles. I love my whimsical paintings, they’re fun and light. I’m proud of my realistic paintings. They took a lot of work and dedication to detail. Both create a meditative state, in different ways. I’ve always loved creating. I sew, take photos, I’ve done pottery, a bit of sculpture, I made batiks and oil paintings and water colours and acrylic paintings. I love trying new things and learning. I love exploring the world of the real and of the spirit, which really are the same thing.

If you like any of these, please send me an email at maryancerina.artist@gmail.com, or leave me a comment below. Thanks!

The Magic of Painting From Intuition

Dear Reader,

Look at who appeared on my paper recently. “Entertaining Possibilities” seems to be thinking outside the box.  “Jumping Into Being” began as a few smears and smudges of paint and then seemed to want to “become”, as though jumping from behind the colours and onto the paper.  So much fun to paint from an intuitive place. I get the sense that I’m peering into another world for a moment, a magical world where anything is possible.

Enjoy,

Maryan

Dear Readers,

I’m very excited to be writing my first post in my new website. Welcome!

A little about me:

I have always had a passion for creating things, whether taking photos, sewing appliqued pillows for all of my nieces and nephews one Christmas, throwing clay pots on the wheel, batiking a painting the size of a sheet to hang in my room or batiking illustrations for my children’s book on Thailand, to drawing and painting in a variety of mediums.  I took art courses each year while at university, but I came out with a teaching degree rather than an art degree.

While teaching overseas in Thailand for 13 years, I finally began a more serious pursuit of drawing and painting while studying with a wonderful painter, by the name of Russel Fadavi.  I worked with Russel for ten years, culminating in two group shows and my first solo exhibition- in a Greek restaurant- in Bangkok. I love the juxtapositions of cultural influences while travelling.  Of course, Vancouver, where I now live, has a wonderful mix of cultures, an aspect of the city that has always made me feel proud to say I live in Vancouver.

I offer group workshops, suitable as an alternative experience for an event such as a special birthday party experience, a group or club who would like to partake in a creative activity together, a spiritual or well-being organization, or as a corporate event.  I also offer individual 6 week courses.

You could say that I’m an eclectic person, taking a bit from here and a bit from there, and creating a something new in the process.  You can see more of my work on my Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/MaryanCerinaArtist, until I post more of my work here. I hope you enjoy this website and I hope that it may inspire you to try something new and creative in your life.  More to come very soon.

Warm regards,

Maryan Cerina
