She has successfully co-founded and run a design studio and currently works as a freelance artist and designer. Alongside visual art, she also loves writing, often sharing her strong opinions through her written work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nubbytwiglet.com\/2010\/sakswantit1.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"The Typofiles #56: Marian Bantjes for Saks | Nubby Twiglet\" width=\"500\" height=\"398\" \/><figcaption>&#8220;Want It!&#8221; for a campaign, featuring her trademark flowing lines<br> http:\/\/nubbytwiglet.com\/2010\/03\/31\/the-typofiles-56-marian-bantjes-for-saks\/<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Her art and her approach to it are quite all-encompassing and power-driven. She likes to be tasked with doing every aspect of a piece, is quite happy doing as much work as possible, and never shying away from a big project. If anything, she faces it heads on.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bantjes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/bantjes_2007_valentine-2.jpg\" alt=\"Valentines 2007 - Marian Bantjes : Marian Bantjes\" \/><figcaption>Her hand-drawn Valentine&#8217;s day project, where she drew over 100 hearts <br> https:\/\/bantjes.com\/work\/valentines-2007\/<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As someone who loves multiple facets of art, often torn between what to actually pursue in her career and always trying to think of a way to combine illustration and graphic design, reading about Bantjes was quite reassuring and personally, I found her inspirational.
