Marianne Ravenna…
…is a multi-talented artist who works with nature in both small and large scale. A noted landscape designer, at Sanibelandscape.com she designs outdoor environments for residential and commercial clients using a palette of native and flowering species on her home islands of Sanibel and Captiva, Florida.
Groovybowls, Marianne’s unique expression of the islands; shells, fish, turtles, birds as well as flowers and tropical trees, are featured in island galleries and juried art shows. Using hardwood Beech and Maple bowls, painted with water based acrylics and coated with clear polyurethane, Groovybowls, with normal care, retain vivid color for decades.
Great as souvenirs and gifts sets. Choose from the multiple designs on this website, or commission a bowl or gift set with your favorite object or species. Each Groovybowl is hand painted and is signed, original art.
Marianne’s art has evolved and now includes a number of white line wood block prints created by carving a wood master block and transferring paint from the master.
In 2022 Marianne is working with pressed flowers, leaves and grasses to create botanical compositions. Printed at high definition on art paper the textures perfectly captured and the colors permanently vivid. See more about Marianne’s pressed botanicals at her FACEBOOK PAGE or INSTAGRAM.
