Maryanne Chisholm taught herself to draw and paint while serving 21 years of a 31-year sentence in prison on wrongful convictions of financial fraud.At first drawing illustrations for fellow inmates, then progressing to painting with whatever materials she could get her hands on, Maryanne’s skill and body of work exploded, her anguish and indefatigable optimism manifesting in a massive portfolio of fine art and poetry.Since winning her appeal and release in 2021, Maryanne has worked through the maddening trauma of this injustice through her art, winning acclaim, awards and exhibitions at Art Basel and international gallery shows. Her unique perspective and deeply rooted spirituality shines through with a surrealist style, tinged with mystic symbology.Expanding from traditional media into digital pieces, Maryanne continues to evolve and grow as an artist. Her masterful proficiency with artmaking tools across the Adobe Creative Suite manifests in the form of visually dazzling, emotionally layered prints, many of which are available as highly valued NFTs, available for sale here.In addition to her original fine art, Maryanne creates portraits of people and their pets. She offers custom works in a variety of styles and media, incorporating elements of photorealism, impressionism and surrealism to clients’ specifications.Maryanne’s artistic journey continues, as she is now telling her astounding life story in an upcoming feature film, BLUE SKIES. From her early childhood in a cult to her wild success as a dot-com founder in the 1990s to her shocking, wrongful conviction and torturous imprisonment to her vindication and spiritual rebirth through fine art, the screenplay by award-winning screenwriter Chris Pittas will be packaged for sale and production in 2025.
