Hello! I'm Mary Kozmor, a digital and acrylic artist based in Hancock, MI. I have a passion for narrative illustration and fantasy art. I'm always exploring new techniques and improving my skills as I go.  I incorporate elements of symbolism into every piece, adding layers of meaning that invite viewers to get lost in my work. I strive to evoke a sense of wonder and adventure, inviting audiences to explore the chaos that is my imagination.

 

When I'm not immersed in the world of art, my free time becomes a canvas of its own. Living in the Upper Peninsula, I'm fortunate to be surrounded by nature's wonders, and I often find myself drawn to exploring the outdoors, especially near Lake Superior. My studio, where my partner Kevin often poses as a reference model, is also home to my two cats, Bolin and Knives. Our nights are spent watching the Twilight Saga and documentaries on YouTube. They "help" by knocking over paintbrushes or rearranging my art supplies, adding their own abstract touch.

 

Beyond movie nights and artistic endeavors, I'm captivated by the timeless tales of folklore, the rich narratives of literature, the captivating scenes of cinema, and the mysteries that lie beyond our understanding.
