Mareen's History

My History

I was born in Berlin (Germany)
and today I am a fulltime freelance artist.

During my one year stay in the United States in 1991/1992
I intensively worked on my drawing skills,
inspired by my great art teacher at Apopka High School in Florida.

After my vocational training in Berlin, occupation as bilingual secretary,
and starting a family life I have discovered my interest in drawing again.

I have begun drawing with a pencil and then moved on to charcoals,
sanguine crayons and last but not least to pastels.

In spring 2006 I have begun painting with acrylics.
My very first acrylic painting was created in April 2006
and is called "Of the Sea",
inspired by the meaning and origin of my name.

I have been selling my art on eBay since 2006.
At this time I discovered those miniature artworks
called ACEOs (Art Cards Edtions & Originals).

These little Art Cards measure 2.5" x 3.5" only.
Now I am creating such little pieces of art as well.
It is helping me to improve my painting technique
regarding small details which I can very well use
for my larger paintings, too.

So far I have sold paintings to Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan,
Malta, Spain, United Kingdom and the USA.

Some of my artworks have been displayed during exhibitions in
Berlin, Florence and Venice.
