The Honey Connoisseur

Marina's previous career as an illustrator and product designer plays an important role in her aesthetics as a honey entrepreneur. Her passion for design and pattern inspired her botanical watercolors which grace the pages in the second edition of her book The Honey Connoisseur. She graduated from The School of Visual Arts in NYC.
