Framed 13x19 photograph by Miriam Crostic "Golden Palms." Taken early in the morning in Venice, CA

Marian Crostic (born in Newport Beach, California) is a Venice Beach-based artist. She is best known for her photography of landscapes and seascapes. Having spent much of her life as an aquatic nomad living on boats with her family, Marian is drawn to the calls of the ocean. The smells, textures, and endless horizons are her source of inspiration. Marian made the career change from the fashion world to photography over a decade ago. Turning her creativity from fabrics towards imagery, her creative vision started taking shape during her morning walks along Venice Beach. To this day, she continues to capture images of the ocean in a seemingly infinite number of ways. Her work can be viewed at www.mariancrostic.com.
