She began teaching in 2009 at the Craft & Painting Ange and has traveled to Taiwan teaching decorative painting in 2012 and in 2014. That is when she started as an international travel-teacher. Mari enjoys sharing the joy of acrylic and oil painting with friends and students. Decorative painting is life therapy for her and she wants continue painting, teaching, shar- ing, and enjoying her passion for this art form for a very long time.
