Mariana's work externalises the immense feminine power that dwells inside her. To meet her she is a quiet smaller energy but to view her work you're struck with the enormity of her talent and expanding forces of their colours leaving you all the better for it.

I discovered Mariana's work quite by accident and I immediately knew I wanted her powerful work to represent the strong, diverse and beautiful program I was putting together for the 2018 Adelaide Cabaret Festival. Her characters each have a life of their own and she seems to create them from a very truthful place.

I started looking at her art and I was completely blown away by how unique it is. It's very cutting edge, it pushes boundaries and feels both mystical and forward-thinking at the same time. I'm such an admirer of her work. I'm just floored by her eye, she is incredibly gifted.
