Marian Bantjes has been variously described as a typographer, designer, artist and writer. Working from her base on a small island off the west coast of canada, her personal, obsessive and sometimes strange graphic work has brought her international recognition. Following her interests in complexity and structure, Marian is known for her custom typography, detailed and lovingly precise vector art, obsessive hand work, patterning and ornament.
Her work has been published in books and magazines around the world, and is included in the permanent collection of the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum (Smithsonian) in New York. In 2008, she was accepted as a member of the prestigious international design organization, Alliance Graphique Internationale (agi).
