Mariuccia, a lifelong artist, works in photo-realism using pastel and acrylic. Inspired by nature, she captures wildlife, birds, animals, still life, landscape and portraits of people and pets. After varied careers and raising a family, she returned to her passion, her art.

"“Art has always been my happy place ~ where joy, peace, and passion meet. I'm inspired by the beauty and detail of the natural world, from the sparkle in an animal’s eye to the texture of a feather. Each piece is my way of honouring life’s quiet wonders.”"
