Marieke Mertz Art
Art has the power to help us feel connected—to nature, to one another, and to ourselves. Through nature-inspired wildlife, bird, and figurative paintings, I create artwork that celebrates belonging, connection, and the restorative beauty of the natural world.
My original oil and mixed media paintings, art prints, gifts and journals are designed to bring a sense of warmth, hope, and serenity into homes, offices, and community spaces. Inspired by wildlife and birds, my work invites viewers to pause and remember that you matter and nature matters.
With experience in both fine art and the retail space, I offer art licensing and wholesale partnerships for businesses, authors, publishers, retailers, and organizations seeking meaningful, uplifting imagery. Whether for consumer products, packaging, editorial projects, or curated collections, I enjoy collaborating with partners who value connection, wellness, and the beauty of nature.
If you're looking for artwork that inspires a sense of belonging while bringing the natural world closer to everyday life, I'd love to connect.
I’ve been drawing and painting since childhood, often at the dining table with just paper and a pencil. Over the years, life took me through many paths outside of art, but becoming a mom brought me back to creating—often drawing late at night after my kids were asleep. What started as a flexible way to build a business around family has grown into a deeper calling: using art to spark joy, reflection, and connection. I’m grateful for the journey, and even more grateful when collectors share how my paintings brighten their own lives.
