Rooted in integrity. Powered by artistry.

Artists I’ve Worked With

Nothing will happen
if your art remains unseen.

Anything can happen
if you share it with abandon.

Mariana with artist paintbrush

Your art isn’t paint-by-number; the way you share it with the world shouldn’t be either.

I work with fine artists who are ready to be seen—fully, deeply, and on their own terms.

No cookie-cutter tactics.
No shouting into the void.
Just clear, aligned strategy rooted in who you are, what you value, and why you create.

Your art is the magnet.
Your brand is the invitation.
Let’s make it unforgettable.

Meet Some of my clients, the Liberated Artists

Hi! I’m Mariana Durst
Artist Brand Strategist, Creative Coach, and Mirror for Your Fully Liberated Self.

With over 20 years of experience in creative entrepreneurship and a BFA in Fine Art, I help artists root into their identity and rise into visibility—without losing the soul of their work.

I blend strategy with sensitivity, design with discernment, coaching with deep listening.

This isn’t about painting inside the lines of a marketing formula. It’s about building a life—and a business—that protects the wellspring.

You bring your vision. I’ll help you shape it into something magnetic, meaningful, and unmistakably yours.
