Mari’s connection to NATURE as a fibre artist is the centre of her being. She finds great joy in 
portraying thousands of little wonders, big and small, reality and fantasy. She loves visual impact, 
colour, design, texture, originality and themes. In most of her work, she uses multiple techniques

loves it.
