Maryanne and her little life

Great question.

While initially stuck, I want to dedicate space to the human behind the artist; while my creative work is a significant part of who I am, it doesn't encompass my entire identity.

My career highlights me as many things, such as an actor, artist, director, writer, and creator; and while all true, it fails to show who I am beyond those labels. I am a daughter, I am a hiker, I am a sister, I am a baker, and I am a friend to the many who make my life worth living. All these labels, artistic and not, come from my core values of empathy and determination.

When I look at the key moments that represent who I am, the intimate and mundane aspects of my life seem more genuine than any major milestone or accomplishment. I believe every small, forgotten instant is an important step that leads to a greater path. And so, please enjoy some small ordinary bits that encompass me; I love redwood trees, I can open any jar, I eat lemons like an orange, I like black coffee, and I take out my stress in baking.
