My art is a reflection of my life, a reflection of myself

I am a Laguna Beach-based artist with a bachelor's degree in graphics design.

Creating fine artworks for over 20 years, I started my career in commercial art by working as a graphic designer.

I work mainly with oil media, but also enjoy creating mixed meida with gold leaf as well.

My brush strokes and textures create an unforgettable experience for the viewer. Each brushstroke builds up a story and has life and passion.

I am proud to display my art every summer/winter at Sawdust art Festival in Laguna Beach, and you can also visit my digital gallery at www.artbymaryam.com.

My passion for natural beauty is seen in my work as I transform vistas familiar and rare into stunning interpretations of bold color, playful rhythms and raw emotional impact.
