Hey! I'm Mari, I’m 25 and I am a 
Art has been part of my life since I was a kid. I was always the one scribbling in notebooks or drawing on whatever I could find. Over the years, I’ve tried out all kinds of styles and mediums, just following whatever felt fun or interesting in the moment. I’ve been hanging out on DeviantArt for over 10 years now, and it’s been kind of like my second home. It’s where I learned a ton, met people who love art as much as I do, and found a space where I can just be myself creatively. Honestly, the friendships and support I found here helped shape the artist (and person) I am today. 😊

My artistic style belongs to the cartoonish side and I consider that as my hobby. I like a colorful approach and like to make artworks using both traditional means and digital ones. There is something truly pleasant about drawing on paper, but there are also lots of opportunities provided by digital painting. I am fortunate to have won some contests and have been featured in a book and to teach digital art to beginners. However, no matter how much I develop myself, I am not a professional artist, but rather an enthusiast of art. What I like the most is experimentation with styles and techniques.

Communication is an essential element of my character, which I consider to be open and respectful. Although I always try to provide a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere, I have zero tolerance when it comes to:
Racism
Sexism
LGBTQphobia
Ableism
Bullying
Pedophilia
