When you think of Miami, what comes to mind? Sun and sand? Sultry summer nights? Julianne Marangi's paintings are inspired by those same things.

Julianne is an artist who paints on canvas, fabric, and silk. She creates one-of-a-kind pieces that reflect her vibrant spirit and the energy of Miami. She earned her art degree in San Marcos in 2011, then relocated to Miami Beach, finding the perfect location to match her vitality, spirit, and inspiration.

Although she has been creating art since she was a child, working around the pool area became a vital source of inspiration for her to create bright and vivacious paintings and unique handmade fashion. Her handpainted silk dresses were carried in the hotel's chic boutique and spa—enjoyed by The Delano’s worldwide clientele.

While Julianne's work is available in boutiques and galleries, many of her paintings are personally commissioned using photographs as the basis for the painting. Personalized jackets are especially popular among clients, but Shibori scarves, dresses, and wraps made by an ancient Japanese technique for painting on silk are another form of fashion expression inspired by the light and color of Miami.

Just Lately she been expanding the mediums she works with and has been painting on furniture to create one of a kind home decor.

No matter what Julianne Is creating, it all has the same outcome, expressing the positive energy she feels in her soul.
