Why We Got Started
Tentacles & Wings was created to honor Marie’s life and memory, and to provide assistance to other passionate and creative artists who wish to educate and change the world through their art. Marie wanted to bring science alive through her illustrations. She was in the habit of carrying sketch books with her at all times and would constantly draw things that caught her eye. We wish to encourage and support other aspiring artists to help us see the world in a new way. Marie’s passion for drawing comes from the same place as her love for literature, science, philosophy, and world religions. All are rooted in a sense of wonder for the world. Her heroes were those who took the time to stop, consider, and engage with the world around them.
