Marie Shaira is an artist and designer who explores the connection between nature and the human experience under her online studio name Dear Arthur Art. With a Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Design and a recently obtained Master’s degree in Frankfurt, in Communication design and creative strategies, her work is created on a foundation of visual and intentional storytelling.

Her creative practice focuses on translating emotions and messages into physical art in natural forms. Combining techniques with a love for nature she creates a world of sculptures and sketches that narrates somewhere between reality and a dream.

Working with a variety of materials, including polymer clay, oil pastels, and acrylic paint, she visualizes organic elements to focus on the beauty of form, transformation and the cycles of life. Using a signature palette of soft, dreamy pastels, Marie Shaira creates tiny sanctuaries that invites audiences to slow down and find magic in the quiet, overgrown corners of our world.
