her work is incredible, i love the color combinations... and if i'm not mistaken, i believe that little monkey in the first piece is a banana chippy.. too cute

I am starting to really get into Mari's work. She is starting to get a little more focus which is nice, and I definitely think she is talented. Looking forward to seeing more from her.

Mari's paintings are fun. I'm a sucker for the cute characters but her new work that sleepboy posted is nice as well. Dig the softer rendering. In the past I've felt that her technique up close was a little lacking but her style is very appealing. Is Nucleus more or less her main gallery? Seems to be at the moment.

Love Mari's work...here's my commission piece from her that I got around the time I did a piece in Clutter. I love how her style has developed mixing the human elements and the monsters. This pic doesn't really do it justice as you can't make out all the textures

One of my favorite pieces from the "Cry for Help" show at Thinkspace was Mari's "Shirokuma Wo Tasukete," four polar bears (of a sort) under the northern lights. The general adorablosity of this one is greatly enhanced by the painterly textures she laid in with thick layers of oil paint.

Really feeling her new show at Copro, seems to be a great blend of her dual styles, both of which I think she's grown greatly in.
