About MarieYoungCreative

Sales 170
On Etsy since 2009
  • Sculpting over hollow egg shells is big passion of mine. When I look at an egg, I see a character waiting to emerge.
  • Stories exist in polymer and love to watch them unfold as I begin to sculpt.
  • My more complicated pieces can take months to create. Most everything is sculpted freehand. Patience is rewarded!
  • Our home is filled with cats. I make them model in exchange for food. This one is Henry.
  • I love using natural elements like spices. Cinnamon in my house is more likely to spice up polymer than pie!

Purveyor of Tales (and Tails)

The Marie Young Creative studio was born in 2009 out of a need to find an outlet for my creative urges.

My work is inspired by art history, vintage finds, nature, and occasionally the offbeat. I love to explore contrast: light and dark, good and evil, urban and rural, sweet and naughty. Like my art, I am filled with sugar and spice, blended with a little of the unexpected.

I inherited my love for creating from my mom. She encouraged my sister and me to play with everything. Her only rule was don't cut paper with the fabric scissors. I started to evolve that love of "technique-based" crafting through artistic discovery.

I loved studying art so much that I chose art history as my major in college. When I told my family about my choice of major, my father not-so-politely asked, "What in the Hell can you do with that?" Well, I found that I can channel inspiration from the past, adding my own funky twist, to create original projects.
