CRAYAWNS BY MARIKO
THE ART THAT STARTED IT ALL
CRAYAWNS BY MARIKO
From Mariko’s drawings to a wider exploration of children’s creativity.
Crayawns began by sharing Mariko’s artwork with people around the world. As interest grew, it led to a deeper curiosity about art, creativity, the developing mind and the different ways children express what they see.
Today, Mariko’s artwork remains at the heart of Crayawns — the beginning of a journey that celebrates children’s artistic expression.
