Welcome to my online home.
You'll find further info about upcoming
projects, publications & releases, as well as
performance & workshop dates inside.



Culture is pivotal in our human lives. It is who we are as a people & society, it shapes our thoughts & perceptions, it is a marker of our history in a specific time & place. Without it, our world would

be mere bricks & mortar, our fellow man without empathy or understanding. Come out, support live events & connect with

others while you're at it! Till soon, Maryanne

Featured Works



Little known fact: Maryanne was offered several places at reputed tertiary institutions to study visual art, as well as music, some 20 years ago when beginning her creative journey. She was ranked in the top 2% of the state of NSW on completion of her Advanced HSC Visual Art studies & earned a leading tertiary entrance rank in this field, as well as in music.


Her collection of works "Aphorisms for Violin & Body" 1997, reflected her life choice between music & visual art at a young age, and was selected to tour NSW as part of the prestigious annual exhibitions, Art Express & Art Impress. Formal music studies took precedence at a younger age, however the creative visual element has stayed with her strongly throughout her musical career, including cross-genre collaborations, theatre & other mixed media forms. Living in Europe provided a rounded creative education in many artistic genres, with access to some of the world's finest galleries, artists, theatres & its touring scene.


After establishing many performing & production projects internationally in varying arenas, 2019 sees a return to her purely creative roots - concentrating intensively on outlets such as visual art & writing, while continuing her busy performing schedule & completing new compositions for release.


More examples of her visual art can be found here.

Commissions are now being accepted, including fine & commercial art, as well as creative calligraphy. There is a waiting list for commissions, however Maryanne is generally able to negotiate timeframes for specific event deadlines.

SONIC TALA


SOUND - A UNIVERSAL SENSE: Poland, London, Germany, Australia. I'm excited to present a new workshop starting September 2018 for a broad age-range. How does hearing influence our mind, our perspective? Why do humans respond so profoundly to sound? We look at sound as a basic concept in our world: in music and language, in improvisation, in our daily lives, in the human body, in nature, in relation to society and its

historical events. We explore the frequencies present

in our universe as neuopsychological and neurosensory factors, how humans organise and communicate with sound, as well as how sound and music can be used as a developmental force in different community groups.
