She's also designed and stepped into the Creative Director role for multiple leading fashion brands in Canada and internationally.  In 2019, a lifetime of creating original artwork culminated in Marina creating her own distinct aesthetic of dreamy watercolors paired with luscious materials for a luxury collection of sustainable, wearable art pieces as @artofmarina. Or www.artofmarina.com Her happiest days are spent making art—and sharing it with others. Marina wrote a book called The Nine Magical Butterflies. It is a book about her own creative transformation through painting butterflies that will be released this fall. Marina facilitates paint therapy watercolor workshops from coast to coast as a way to help others destress, unlock their passion and exceed their wildest dreams.
