About Me

Welcome to Designs by Mare.

I’m Jessica, but depending on where my creativity takes me, you might also know me as Mare or Mariana. Each name represents a distinct part of my artistic world. Mare embodies the playful yet thoughtful approach I take with my hand-painted tote bags—art you can carry with you. Mariana, on the other hand, represents the deeper, introspective side of my abstract paintings. And in everyday life, I’m simply Jessica, finding inspiration in the beauty and complexity of the world around me.

For a long time, I thought my art was something personal—a dialogue between myself and my imagination. But as I’ve grown, I’ve realized that my creations are meant to be shared, offering others the opportunity to connect with the emotions and stories behind them. The abstract expressions I create—whether on a tote bag or canvas—are fragments of thought and feeling, whispers from beyond the tangible world, and reflections of the human experience.

My work often explores the balance of light and dark, the tension between pain and hope, and the quiet ache of searching for peace within. Each piece is a release, a breath that exhales the shadows of suffering and invites the light of understanding. Through hazy edges, spiraling forms, and the interplay of cool hues like blue, green, and purple, I aim to create spaces where viewers can pause, reflect, and find their own meanings within the abstraction.

Ultimately, whether you encounter my work as Mare, Mariana, or Jessica, my purpose is the same: to inspire connection, thought, and emotion. Each creation is a moment captured—a bridge between my inner world and yours. I hope that in these pieces, you’ll find something that resonates, something that invites you to linger a little longer.

With love and endless creativity,
Mare / Mariana / Jessica
