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.  My art ranges from abstract paintings that bring warmth and vibrant style to your home, to simple illustrations that make you smile.  As “Presents of Love,” I’ve been creating handmade gifts and a vast range of products for customers all around the world.  
​

I work in a variety of media but recently acrylic painting on canvas has been my preferred medium. My art is offered through online venues ​(see painting and handmade tabs).  If you’re interested in licensing my artwork, custom illustrations or a commissioned artwork, 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.


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

P.S. I'm working on an exciting new project! Keep scrolling down!

Hummingbird Painting, Acrylic on Canvas, "Taking a Break"

I'm working on a new project!

I've become fascinated with hummingbirds and have discovered I absolutely LOVE painting them!

I'll be posting progress pics of my project on my instagram page if you'd like to follow along.

Also, for more "behind the scenes" and what I'm learning about hummingbirds (I'm studying to become a naturalist so I really like to dive into the research part of my subjects :) ), please join my email community.
