» bio
| Mari Keeler, is a classically trained artist who paints her surroundings and her imaginings. She wears her heart on her sleeve and has art on the brain. Mari never leaves home without a camera (or three) and never misses an opportunity to capture a moment.
Before moving to Princeton, New Jersey from Caracas, Mari learned the basics of painting from her godmother, Venezuelan artist Maria Cristina Romero. Descended from a long line of artists and art aficionados, it's no wonder that Mari had an early appreciation of art, but she's also the granddaughter of one of the world's first female pilots, Mary Calcaño which could explain her hunger for world travel and adventure. Mari's most recent adventures include photographing the streets in Stockholm, re-discovering the masters in Berlin, horseback riding in Costa Rica and this October, she’ll hike the Incan trail to Machu Picchu. When she's not at her easel or experimenting with new photographic techniques, Mari can be found sipping a glass of red wine, discovering a new solar system or riding her bike, Scarlett. She is currently living and working in New York’s East Village. |
