​Art that celebrates simple joys

Picture
So glad you’re here! I create uplifting, joyful art that celebrates the simple joys in life.  I’m especially inspired by Pacific Northwest nature, animals/wildlife and flowers.  I'm currently working on a collection of hummingbird paintings.


My art ranges from contemporary paintings that bring warmth and vibrant style to your home, to simple illustrations that make you smile.  As “Presents of Love” I started my art journey, creating handmade gifts and a vast range of products which are now found in homes all around the world.  
​


I've worked in a variety of media but acrylic paint on canvas has been my preferred medium for some time now. If you’re interested in licensing my artwork, a custom illustration or wholesale, please contact me directly at hello@mariekemertz.com. To stay in touch with my art studio happenings and latest news, please join my email community below.


Creating art that brings joy to others’ lives or enables people to share more joyful moments together is what really makes my heart happy!
