Hi, my name is Ceci Marez. I am an artist residing in Southern California. Although I explore a variety of mediums, my concentration is in watercolor. My art is heavily influenced by folklore, fairy tales, mystical beings, and our connection to nature as a form of healing. I am a freelance artist who enjoys working on a range of projects from picture books to gallery art. I am currently an elementary art educator and working towards earning my Masters degree.
I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from The University of California Riverside with a minor in education and continued studies in early childhood development. I have experience as a behavioral therapist, district substitute, and art teacher at Riverside Art Museum. Throughout the years, I have participated in multiple art exhibits across the Inland Empire.
