A little about me...

Hello and welcome! I’ve always been creative and originally went to college for Theater Design. I designed theater sets and costumes, led fun craft activities for a church camp, and the list goes on. All of that was shelved when I pursued a career in broadcast media marketing and sales. It was fun and exciting, and to a point, I was able to continue using my artistic nature in visual campaigns as well as the audible advertising campaigns I created for my clients.

My shop, By Marion Art Handmade, was born seven years ago when my husband and I took an assignment working as senior retirement community managers. Aside from our managerial duties, I thought how nice it might be to decorate the main lobbies and foyers with large wreaths. That was the beginning—one or two wreaths for every holiday and a quarterly class for the residents, teaching them how to make wreaths for their apartment doors. I found it to be so much fun, and I truly loved creating wreaths and other décor pieces.

We no longer work in that industry, but I have been able to return to where my heart feels at home—art, design, and creation—taking advantage of wonderful materials and mediums. I’ve listed some of my favorite wreaths that I’ve greatly enjoyed designing and creating.

Beyond wreaths, I also design and create other home décor pieces, such as centerpieces for tables or statement pieces for over the fireplace. I love bringing spaces to life with thoughtful, handcrafted designs. Additionally, I offer custom work for commercial enterprises, helping businesses add a unique and welcoming touch to their spaces. Whether you need a one-of-a-kind piece for your home or a custom design for a business, feel free to reach out—I’d love to create something special for you!

I hope you enjoy my shop!
