Hi, I’m Draven Marie. I'm a licensed cosmetologist, certified makeup artist, special FX artist, and the creative mind behind Draven Marie Makeup Artist, LLC and Draven Marie Artistry. What started as a passion for makeup in 2018 has evolved into a full-blown love affair with all forms of art. From bold beauty looks and cinematic transformations to acrylic painting, photography, and sculpting. If it’s art, I probably do it, or I’m excited to learn.

My work is deeply personal and wildly expressive. I think outside the box and love experimenting with new ideas, mediums, and techniques. Whether I’m creating a hauntingly beautiful painting or prepping a bride for her big day, my mission is the same: to help people feel something. I want my art to heal, to spark joy, and even help others connect with the deeper, darker emotions that make us human.

I’m proudly based in Indiana, but I travel for makeup work and offer prints and custom art through my website, DravenMarie.com. I’m currently self-taught in fine art but will be starting my Bachelor of Fine Arts at Indiana University Kokomo in Fall 2025 and I can’t wait to grow even more.

If you’re genuine, open-minded, and ready to vibe, you’re my kind of person. I believe the strongest connections create the most meaningful work. Oh, and fun fact?

As one of my favorite quotes goes:

“Confidence. It’s the food of the wise man, but the liquor of the fool.”
