 Artist Marian Hayes

Hey Friends! I’m Marian, an American artist with a passion for bringing my drawings to life. I love inviting viewers to dive into the deeper meanings of existence through my art. My unique ability to weave storytelling into my work allows me to explore subjects that are often overlooked, helping both myself and others see the world from fresh, enlightening perspectives. As a devoted born-again Christian, my faith plays a significant role in my creative journey, adding a spiritual depth to my pieces that goes beyond the ordinary. While not every artwork is directly inspired by scripture, my belief in God and His teachings always shines through. I was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and moved to Austin, Texas, when I was just four years old. I graduated with my BFA in Drawing from Texas State University in Spring 2025 and am now excited to pursue a career as a children’s book illustrator, hoping to inspire young minds with my imaginative and meaningful illustrations.
