Marian Pham is a painter and illustrator using digital, watercolor, gouache, and oil to create her works. In her personal practice, Marian explores themes around collective healing, generational trauma, and current social issues, using portraiture, symbolism, and abstraction. She is currently exploring art commissions as a way to work with clients interested in identity work using narrative techniques, Human Design, and healing consultations.
She graduated from California College of the Arts with a BFA in Illustration. She has also studied abroad at Hongik University in South Korea, and attended Graduate School of Illustration at the Academy of Arts University. She has exhibited in various plein air competitions around Utah and has taught painting and drawing classes.
