Marilyn Creery

Hey there, welcome to my channel.

Starting a YouTube channel in my 50s is a questionable thing to do. But here I am sharing how I create. There are no right or wrong way to do this, just have a go. It's the act of creating that benefits you, not the end result of an artwork.

I’m a Kiwi living on the Central Coast of NSW, Australia, where everyone calls me Maz—feel free to do the same. By profession, I’m a graphic designer, but at heart, I’m an artist. I’m also a proud single mum of two daughters: one who shares my love for creativity, and one who, despite my best efforts, doesn’t—at least, not yet.

Nature & Nurture. You’ll often find me painting local landmarks, capturing their essence through bold, gestural marks. I gravitate toward immediate, expressive mediums like inks, markers, pastels, and charcoal on paper. My work emerges with a raw energy and spontaneity—sometimes even flecked with sand and bugs. Creativity fuels my soul, and I’m happier for it.
