About Marlis

Digital Artist • Visual Storyteller • Creator of The Nest Collection™

I have always believed that the journey should be just as fun and enjoyable as the destination.

Life moves quickly, and some of its most beautiful moments appear when we least expect them—a remarkable sky, sunlight breaking through the clouds, a view along the highway, or a place that makes us stop and take it all in. I have been known to capture those moments through the window of a moving car with my iPhone simply because something caught my eye and I didn’t want to forget it.

I’m not a traditional photographer. I’m simply someone who notices things.

I notice the colors, the light, the feeling of a place, and the little details that can turn an ordinary moment into a memory. That same sense of curiosity and wonder is at the heart of everything I create.

Today, I describe myself as a digital artist and visual storyteller. I begin with an idea, a feeling, a memory, or a place I would love to experience. Using digital creative tools, I develop that vision into an immersive world filled with atmosphere, glowing light, meaningful details, and hidden discoveries.

My artwork is meant to do more than look beautiful. I want it to make you feel something—to help you slow down, use your imagination, explore the details, and enjoy the moment.

The Story Behind The Nest Collection™

The Nest Collection™ grew from the idea that art doesn’t have to stay on a wall.

What if you could wrap yourself inside the story?

Each Nest blanket is designed as its own little world. Some are peaceful and comforting. Others are magical, adventurous, nostalgic, or filled with glowing surprises. Many include hidden animals, objects, or meaningful details waiting to be discovered.

A Nest can be displayed as a beautiful scene on a bed, then turned around and opened across your lap so it feels as though you are sitting right inside the artwork.

Children can search and imagine. Adults can relax and escape. Families can explore the details and create memories together.

Everything at Marlis.us is connected by one simple idea: life is an adventure, and there is beauty to be found along the way.

I hope my creations encourage you to slow down, look closer, dream a little, and enjoy the journey—because life on Earth is simply too short not to notice the beautiful parts.
