Additionally, she has sold her work in North Van Arts' annual "North Shore Art Crawl".

In her free time, Marvi gives back to her community by volunteering at local art galleries, such as the Polygon Gallery.

About the Artwork

Medium: Painting

Size: 24”H x 30"W

Artistic Statement: Capturing the aspects of the mind and body that do not have a tangible appearance. I wanted to focus on the different "masks" that people put on when facing the public, their loved ones, and themselves.
