Hello there!
My name is Marika Sinclaire and I paint animals, nature and things that are beautiful!
I love cozying up in front of the easel with a cup of tea, the heating blanket on max and my hand full of brushes. The paint tubes are farting and the paint water is splashing while a new painting slowly emerges. In the headphones I'm listening to something interesting and a furry little cinnamon roll is snoring in my lap (Chihuahua).
I want to surround myself and my surroundings with things that are beautiful and make me happy, usually animals, nature and flowers! The interest for drawing and painting has always been in the background, but I started painting seriously a couple of years ago. I am constantly trying to challenge myself to become better and at the same time rein the perfectionist in me to be able to enjoy what I do.
On the side, I have a newfound interest in growing vegetables and gardening!
I also do portrait painting and take commissions, (more info and prices are available here on the website, please contact me if you are interested!)
I'm in Sweden, Skåne together with my four (five) furry studio assistants (Chihuahuas and husband). I also have a YouTube channel (Marika Sinclaire Art) where you can watch me paint!
