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 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!

​For the inside scoop on my hummingbird painting collection and happenings in my art studio, please join my email community. Besides The Simple Joys E-book & Journal, you'll now also receive "The Joy of Hummingbirds" as a bonus! 

Painting hummingbirds has made me interested to learn more about them. I also just love hearing people's stories and experiences as well as seeing their backyard photos of hummingbirds so I thought it'd be fun to start a community with people who love hummingbirds too!
​You can read more about my thoughts about starting this group here.
