 About Marianna Armata\n
 \n
 The moment Marianna was plucked out of her native Old Europe at the t
 ender age of 12 and dropped into a new contemporary North American so
 ciety, she became an instant illiterate overnight. Speaking or writin
 g in either official language in Canada was not an option, so she beg
 an to focus on the visual world around her. So much so that years lat
 er she became a professional graphic designer, illustrator, and photo
 grapher. \n
 \n
 Fast forward 37 years, and now, freed from the necessity of earning a
  living, Marianna is focusing her efforts on her passion for photogra
 phy. Her graphic design training and experience naturally infuse her 
 images. Marianna's focus is primarily on macro photography because it
  reveals what we usually miss when observing the grand landscape and/
 or wildlife around us. Having retained the curiosity of a child, her 
 biggest thrill is to discover something new and share it with the wor
 ld through her photography. By doing this, Marianna hopes to instil a
 n understanding and raise awareness that all creatures, even the tini
 est ones, are interconnected, are entangled with nature, and that, in
  fact, together we are One. She hopes this basic understanding will r
 esult in respect for each other, which will lead to protecting all th
 e small parts that make up the Big Picture. \n
