About

Marie Cisneros, Muskegon, MI

I have been an artist most of my life. I have been making and selling my hand-made jewelry for over 20 years. My artwork has been exhibited locally and I have sold jewelry nation-wide. I am a self-taught artist. I enjoy exploring with a variety of mediums; but especially like the use of bright colors, textures and materials that give the impression of being three-dimensional or “pop” in some way.  I work in colored pencils, permanent markers, acrylic, oil, and mixed media. I especially like using found objects, such as bits of vintage paper, jewelry, rhinestones, beads in my work.

I use gemstone beads, lead-free components and findings, Swarvosky crystals and imported crystals from a U.S. Company as well as found and re-purposed objects. Most of my work is one-of-a-kind. I have sold my crafts at many venues in the Muskegon County area as well as have selling on consignment at several businesses. 

Art and beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder and the whole occupation of art in whatever form; hinges on ideas and creativeness. When I can achieve something that is creative and pleasing to the eye-either my own and hopefully someone else; especially if it that it has the power to move the viewer emotionally or conveys a message, I feel I have made a contribution as an artist. If you purchase from me, know that I make it with uniqueness in mind as well as taking care to see that it is well-made.
