Welcome to my creative haven!
I’m Anastasiia Marmyzova, a Ukrainian self-taught artist and surface pattern designer currently based in Canada. For years, I’ve created under the alias Stacie Mar, with a mission to bring warmth and beauty into your world through delicate, heartwarming illustrations. My art aims to transform any space into an inviting, cozy haven, encouraging you to find beauty even in the smallest details.
Coming from a family of architects, creativity is in my DNA. Though I earned a Master’s in English and Greek translation and worked in a completely different industry, my heart always pulled me towards creating art. In 2021, I fully embraced this passion, transitioning into full-time illustration and surface pattern design. Since then, my work has found its way onto various products — from kids’ clothing and bedding to mugs, greeting cards, and even cakes!
However, on February 24, 2022, my life changed forever due to unforeseen circumstances – the war in Ukraine.
In May 2022, I moved to Canada. After nearly a year of healing and rebuilding my creative spirit, I got back to drawing and started building my art business from scratch, once again.
Now, I'm on a mission to transform my passion for illustration into a thriving business in North America and expand my collaborations and licensing opportunities all over the world.
Thank you for stopping by and stepping into my world of soft florals, whimsical animals, and heartfelt designs. I hope my creations bring a little joy, warmth, and inspiration to your life :)
