| Marie Sena |
Marie Sena's vintage inspired works fall somewhere between illustration and painting, tattoo design and medical illustration. Sena's luscious watercolor paintings often reflect a melding of pin up girls, animals, religious motif and hispanic culture. Transcending many artistic and cultural boundaries, Marie's work is appreciated by traditional, Contemporary and New Brow collectors worldwide.
Marie Sena hails from Santa Fe, New Mexico and currently resides in Dallas, TX where she is a medical illustrator, fine artist and a professional tattoo artist, in high demand internationally. She travels the USA and Europe as a guest body artist annually at the Barcelona Tattoo EXPO,and also Amsterdam.
Even as a child Marie Sena, along with the Sena family of artists, showcased her work at Santa Fe's Spanish Market where she has been honored numerous times. She left New Mexico after receiving a scholarship to attend Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa where she received her degree in Biological and Pre-Medical Illustration and later earned a Master's Degree in Medical Illustration while completing her tattoo apprenticeship in Deep Ellum under renowned artists Chris Merchant, Caleb Barnard & Tim Creed in Dallas, TX.

"Santa Fean Marie Sena's work is also worth checking out. Her tattoo-inspired works fall somewhere between illustration and painting, tattoo design and medical illustration. Like all of the art in this show, Sena's luscious watercolor paintings, which are coated in resin, would succeed in many different venues: reproduced on a T-shirt for KidRobot in New York, as a decoration in a cool retro-shop, as a design option in a tattoo parlor, or as capital “A” art on the walls of any contemporary gallery. That's kinda cool."-Kim Russo, Albuquerque Journal (excerpt from article, Cute But Creepy May 2009).
