Los  Angeles-based artisan Marli Arizona grew up as an art kid—always  drawing, painting, and working with her hands to create art. Her love of  painting followed her throughout the years and after studying fine art  later on, she settled in LA where she worked in a studio as a production  painter.

​

Seeking  to merge her passion for paintings and desire to channel a clients’  artistic vision, she became an art advisor, curating paintings for  residential and commercial interiors. The tactile aspect of the  decorative arts drew Marli in more and more, and she has since used her  eye for design and unique aesthetic to develop her own artistry in the  world of luxury interior finishes.

Large-scale murals, églomisé mirrors, and sculpted plaster  bas relief wall creations are what Marli specializes in, inspired by  the gravitas of finishes such as hand-painted murals that take up an  entire wall and transport the viewer into a completely new environment.  She enjoys experimenting with different materials and techniques, such  as combining modern faux finishes with traditional bas relief techniques  to make it look as if the mural was carved out of a polished jade  stone.

Whether  it’s a single painted surface or an entire multi-level environment  created from a designer’s initial concept, her artistic talent and  intrinsic understanding of what draws people in will transform any room.
