Hello Artist! I’m Marabeth Quin
I'm a self-taught artist, which means I've likely taken the long way on many things. However, my journey has been shaped by two key approaches that have greatly benefited my work: learning through experimentation and observing other artists. I believe artists are among the most generous and open people on the planet, and when we share our knowledge, we all grow together.
I love teaching and sharing what I’ve learned, and every time I do, I gain new insights from the artists I engage with—it’s truly a win-win!
Whether you're just starting out or have been creating for a while and want to deepen your connection with your work, you're in the right place. I spend most of my time exploring art practice, process, and what it truly means to be an artist.
I hope you enjoy these free resources. I'm glad you're here and we are connected!
