Hi, I’m MaryAnn!

I’m a multi-passionate creative. I’ve been a professional fine artist since 2013, and in the years before that I’ve explored creative paths in acting, singing, and songwriting.

From my artistic journey so far, I’ve learnt that every single one of us has dreams we aspire to live, but for many reasons, we may have set them aside and forgotten about them. And I believe it’s our purpose in this life to figure out what our dreams are, and to live them as an expression of ourselves to the world.

As an artist I paint 100 Dream Tree murals with different communities around the world, connecting people to their dreams through art.
