To create beautiful and applicable work that is highly successful, for the benefit of my client and company.
 

​Experience
Artist/Illustrator – maryannart.com (Jan 1999 – Present)
Always working in a variety of mediums from paint, pencil, Ink, computer programs such as Adobe Illustrator, Photo Shop, and Corel Draw to achieve variety in my work and flexibility in my skill set. My goal is to generate the vision or ideas of my clients better than they ever imagined.

Designer/Illustrator - Wisteria (Jun 2009 – Jan 2015)
Developed ideas and created designs and design specs for products from different perspectives, with dimensions, measurements and instructions to be used to mass produce the item. Usually items were tableware designs, pottery, statuary, furniture and décor items. Worked out of the office from my home studio.

Artist/Designer – Ocean to Ocean (2000 – 2009)
​Was a multi-million-dollar designer, my creations were always re-ordered several times in quantities of a million or more. At this time, through Ocean to Ocean I designed items for Phfaltzgraff, Dillards, Bealls, Mikassa, Walmart, and many more. I was an integral part of getting the business off the ground and turning it into a larger corporation.
