Meet Your Teacher
I'm Marina, and I'll guide you on your creative painting journey
I'm passionate about painting with cold wax — especially in oils — and I love exploring texture through acrylics, mixed media, collage, and layered mark-making.
I created The Texture Lab as a calm, encouraging space where artists can paint, share, and grow together. My mantra is explore, experiment, and play — because the journey matters as much as the destination.
Whether you're brand new to cold wax or already in love with it, I'd be thrilled to welcome you in.

The Why
Why did I create The Texture Lab?
Because painting with cold wax can feel magical — but also lonely when you don't know where to start, or when life makes it hard to keep showing up.
I wanted to build a soft landing place: a space where artists can find guidance, community, and inspiration without pressure or overwhelm — somewhere to come back to whenever life allows.
