THE ARTIST
Mary Zaus, born on April the 8th, 1978, in Augsburg/Germany, started drawing comic style since she was little.
On an exchange student program in 1994, she had her first experience with Adobe Photoshop. After that time, she developed her love for photography. In 1997, she had the idea of combining photography with drawings.
She never had the possibility of attending an art college but through her job, she was able to travel around the world. In that time, she photographed a lot, mostly portraits of people, and began to have a huge collection of photo material.
in 2005, she decided to go back to her comix style and designed a few series. Her scenes always have an erotic touch, an idea, she got inspired by an erotic computer scene collection on one of her trips in 2001.
In 2008, she created a two album story called El Guerillero and Roni Erikson but decided to change her character to Lola in 2010 when she lived at the Caribbean Coast in Nicaragua. In that year she produced 4 albums which are available in 4 languages: English, German, Spanish & Miskito.

"Terror" and "Control" are only in raw material available. After a short break, Mary started with a new art style/design. Airbrush in combination with spraypaint, different colours and LIGHTs!! Mainly, she designs car motor hoods but as well toilet lids, skateboards and motorcycle gas tanks. Because they are lighted up, the hoods are nothing to use for your car, but for your wall in your living room. :-) :-)

My life journey as a woman, mother, world traveler and artistLife's journey is above all a carousel of emotions and a succession of life stages. As a young woman, I walked this path purposefully and full of curiosity about the world. However, this path also holds a number of obstacles that must be overcome. One of these hurdles was that in Germany I was denied access to an artistic or creative profession. I later responded to this fact with protest, fully expressing my creative side despite the injustice of not being allowed to pursue it professionally, and I still do. This is why some of my works are scattered around the world, as I preferred to give them away to friends.
As the saying goes, "Who knows what it's good for?" I'll just leave it at that...nobody can know! The previous profession I then pursued also opened many doors for me. It allowed me to meet many wonderful people on my travels, I was blessed with my son, I had countless beautiful experiences, and I was able to realize many of my art projects.
Another saying: "You have to take life as it comes." I would say you have to live and live life to the fullest. For that, you need the right mix of tenacity, determination, lightness, composure, passion, a thirst for adventure, and love. But every now and then, you have to be rebellious and aggressive in asserting your will and giving the middle finger to the "navigation system of life"!
I think you have to keep moving. It's fitting, then, that my current partner calls me his "bouncy ball." Always full of energy and ready to go!
Finally, a saying: "Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today." For me, that means: "Live your life now!" There's no point in not doing something or putting it off until old age...just get started!
