About
Welcome! I am a freelance artist, designer, and writer with a passion for visual storytelling. I use this site to share my art and writing ventures.
I love all things story, and everything that makes a good story, great. Everything powerful, everything real, everything humorous, everything good, and everything true. I believe that stories should showcase the greatness of the human spirit. I love to write and create art that supports timeless stories. I have a background in marketing as a graphic designer, designing websites, billboards, emails, animation, and more. I also have a background in children's book illustration, illustrating for authors in North America and Australia and have storyboarded for children's animation. In my free time, I enjoy writing comedy scripts and working on personal art and film projects. I love sharing my work on social media, and writing about God as I grow in relationship with Him. Please send any work inquires or questions through the 'Contact' tab. Also feel free to directly email me at mbaldwinart@gmail.com. Thanks for stopping in! Blessings, Marina Baldwin +JMJ+ |

Testimonials:
"Marina is versatile, communicative, kind, and talented. If I had the means, I'd scoop her up and employ her for everything. She's exceptional."
"I hired Marina to work on my illustrations for my motherhood blog. She was a delight to work with. Marina really made my vision come to live! She listened carefully and asked questions when I presented my creative brief and vision board. She heard my story and was always on time for our weekly check-ins and I do hope to work with her again. I'm beyond thankful to have found such a talented artist!"
"Marina's talent captured the feelings needed for a sensitive topic. Her artistic abilities are outstanding, I am blown away by the end result. Her manner was professional at all times and nothing was too much trouble. I feel she went above and beyond so the experience of working with her was effortless. I would highly recommend engaging Marina and I fully intend to do so in the near future."
"Marina worked with me to illustrate 2 children’s books: Ahora, Federico and Pues, Federico. She is a complete pleasure to work with. She and I would talk over my ideas and she could quickly translate those ideas into drawings. One thing I greatly loved about working with her is her professionalism and ability to change her drawings to reflect more closely what was in my head. She also brought great additions to the stories that made them more fun for the reader. I’m sure these books would still be words in a notebook if it wasn’t for Marina."
