About Me
MARI KIISMA
Beginner Artist
Ever since I was little, I have loved to draw and dreamed of becoming a visual artist. For various reasons, this wish has not been fulfilled. Now I am facing my fears and making a career change in my 30s to start the journey of an artist from behind my kitchen table. Over time I’ve lost track of who I am as a creative person or what my artistic style is. All I have are rusty skills, some knowledge and a fire inside me that tells me to try again.
In the coming years, you can expect my raw thoughts and feelings on how to become an artist, about what I study as a self-taught person, art tips, drawing and painting process and other creative projects. If you find it interesting, I invite you to join the exploration.
With Love!
Artist Statement (For now)
As a learning artist, I’m still exploring my artistic style of self-expression. Because of that, I don’t want to limit my creativity or techniques. Instead, I want to have fun, be messy, and create imperfect images that show my imagination in digital or traditional mediums.
