A self-taught Californian Artist, Marianne Steinberg uses pastel to express her style in her work.

"Using different mediums combined in a portrait, to me, can make all the difference in how a piece is portrayed."

Creating depth and bright colors to grab the eye are her main focus. She often creates her art in spurts.

"I never know when times of inspiration are around the corner."
