Mari Hunt is a 23 year old illustrator and print-maker. She creates bold and vibrant designs, capturing the essence of her subjects in unique and often quirkyways. She especially enjoys portraiture but also takes inspiration from the natural world in her plant and animal studies.

As a learning disabled and autistic person, art has become a transforming element in her life. It presents many interesting and unexpected opportunities and has given Mari a meaningful channel with which to communicate with others.

Mari is supported in her art adventure by her family, close friends and by her screen–printing facilitator, Jo Telling. She sells her work at local art fairs, in selected local stores and online through Superstar Arts. She is best known for her The Cure image, endorsed by Robert Smith, which has sold widely in the UK and beyond.
Mari has exhibited in Worthing Art Gallery and Colonnade House.
