At 6 years old, Mariah found her passion for drawing cartoons when channeling her inner artist through drawing the cartoons that they seen on TV. The Simpsons, Dexter’s Labratory, Powerpuff Girls, Regular Show and more were all staples within their journey of “Becoming an Artist”. Growing up in a chaotic environment, Mariah found refuge within drawing those cartoons. 

In 2018, Mariah was introduced to the art of Acrylic Paint Pour. A fluid painting technique that focuses on expression, movement and experimentation. With experimentation; that led Mariah combining her love for drawing cartoons and the expression of Acrylic Paint Pour to becoming the pieces you now see today. 

Chaos through Pour and the Pieces of Peace through Cartoons. Not only did they find a way of expressing but a way to also creating new life with the duality of both.

Since starting their business, Mariah’s Muse has sold original work at galleries, local businesses, markets and even Navy Pier! They have hosted a variety of Paint Parties for guests of many types and live painted in a multitude of environments.
