Who is Marie Cilu

I’m an artist based in St. Louis, MO. 

After accidentally retiring from a 20+ year career in technology, I found a new path and have been nurturing a creative practice born from pure pleasure and endless curiosity. 

I view art as a playground and am constantly playing with new techniques and styles to capture the emotion and feeling the world gives me. 

My art offers micro-respites, intentional pauses that take people into places and viewpoints that they would normally overlook. 

Through photography, art, & stories I aim to evoke moments of calm, reflection, and whimsical joy.
