Marina McCormick is a Belarusian born illustrator raised on the East coast, who is studying illustration at the Maryland Institute College of Art. Her work is traditionally created with gouache & ink primarily while playing with mixed media layering when possible. Creating pieces that derive from her Eastern European background in addition to delving into the fantastical elements of folktales of various cultures . When not painting she can generally be found making a pretentious cup of coffee while reading.
