Growing up in Hudson, Ohio, her parents encouraged and exposed her to various avenues and mediums through after school art programs and activities. Special individuals shaped her love for art, especially Gretchen Bierbaum (President and founder of the National Collage Society). Gretchen is considered family, as well as a role model and mentor for Mairin. Gretchen always encouraged Mairin to commit to her passion and she can do anything she puts her mind to.
In addition to her body of work, Mairin also creates original, commissioned small and large scale paintings for private and corporate clients worldwide. Not limiting herself to canvas or paper surfaces, she also enjoys painting glass, furniture and both indoor and outdoor murals. Having created many commission pieces of artwork, Mairin has a flair for capturing essential subject elements, personality features or other aspects important to the client. She has a unique gift in understanding the needs and desires of her clients through this ability. "Mairin is a talented artist that has the rare ability to take a client's vision and put it on the desired medium. While this sounds simple, it is not common. She does not try to change their vision or criticize their vision -- as many artists do -- she simply gives them what they want," Chad’s (client) testimonial. Collections of her work can be found in both public and corporate locations, such as the Booker T. Washington Community Center in Hamilton Ohio, Ciocca Dealerships in Harrisburg Pennsylvania, Lebanon VA Medical Center in Lebanon Pennsylvania, Miami University Police Department in Oxford Ohio, and the YWCA in Harrisburg Pennsylvania. Private creations are located in Brazil, England, and various homes and offices around North and Central America.
