What Happened

Artwork for Heart's 30th Anniversary book 'What Happened'.

To celebrate this milestone, we asked the Artists to create images inspired by a significant event from one year between 1994 and 2025. Some chose to illustrate historical moments or public events; others looked inward, drawing on memories or fleeting personal experiences.

Mari created an artwork for 2021; 'What stands out for me in 2021- getting my kitten, Maki, and spending days in nature, watching her play, hut and sleep'

Deus Ex Machina

Mari’s artworks were developed into print designs for a range of shirts and t-shirts for the brand Deus Ex Machina.
