Her Spirit Creates is about creating meaningful CHANGE.
Her Spirit Creates is a Vermont-based mixed media art and creative empowerment business.
We make bold, layered paintings and handmade goods.
We teach workshops that use art as the vehicle for self-expression, spiritual exploration, and genuine creative confidence.
Big Creativity. Fun times.
Real Impact.
Most people who walk into a Her Spirit Creates workshop don't think of themselves as artists. They leave knowing they are.
That's not accidental — it's the result of 25+ years of facilitation, curriculum design, and coaching behind every class.
Marianne isn't a craft teacher. She's a facilitator who uses art as the vehicle.
The difference shows up in the room. And the outcomes of creative experiences!
For Individuals:
Workshops that move you between divergent thinking — opening up, following instinct, gathering — and convergent thinking — composing, choosing, landing.
You leave with something made & something shifted
For Organizations & Venues:
Creative experiences designed with specific outcomes.
Team building that actually builds something. Guest programming that guests remember.
Retreats that open people up rather than check a box.

“When you combine Marianne's gift for deep listening with her ability to tap into a wellspring of creativity, there's no limit to where working with her will take you!"
— Wendy Halley, Lucid Wellness“Marianne weaves creativity, spirituality, and authenticity into her work in a way that feels natural and deeply respectful. Whether she is teaching, facilitating, creating art, or guiding conversation, she leads with presence and intuition rather than formulas or performance. Her approach encourages reflection, self-trust, and meaningful insight.”
~ Katie, class participant
“As a coach and mentor, Marianne is skilled at meeting the client’s needs first and foremost without interjecting her own opinions. The goal is to move the client forward in a manner that best suits the individual’s circumstances.”
~ Molly O’C

“You have showed me sense of worth and have believed in me”
— Ronda B, Former employee of Marianne's in non-profit work “Your mentorship has helped me acclimate to state employment and helped me to be a better strategic thinker, among so many other things”
— Former mentoring client in Verrmont state government“ Working with Marianne is a grounding and quietly transformative experience. She has a rare ability to hold space that feels both safe and expansive, allowing people to feel seen exactly as they are while gently inviting growth and self-discovery.”
— Katie, one of Marianne's best friends“Marianne is an artist who channels her art directly from her spirit to her hands. Her passion for creating is contagious and she infuses her workshops with both passion and a love of the creative process.
I organized an afternoon of self-care, and Marianne offered to facilitate a creative activity, bringing her own tables and materials. the space she created was warm and welcoming. The guests felt comfortable and relaxed as they began their projects. It was inspiring. I highly recommend Marianne’s art and her ability to inspire that creativity in others.
