​

Miyon (Marion Howard) is an artist, photographer, author, and award-winning independent graphic designer whose passion for creativity has spanned many years. Her work includes branding, logo design, fine art, photography, and graphic design. She combines originality, creativity, and attention to detail to create meaningful work that leaves a lasting visual impression.

​

As one of seven children, Miyon developed her own unique artistic voice at an early age. Her love for art began in childhood under the guidance of her dad, the late Dennis J. Carney, a professional artist, photographer, and graphic arts instructor. His encouragement, knowledge, and passion for the arts helped shape her creative path and her appreciation for the power of visual expression.

​

Before his passing in 1998, Dennis was developing an online museum to showcase his artwork. His galleries can still be viewed at:

Dennis was the first to invent the morphing technique. His pioneering work helped establish a technique that is now widely used throughout the art and digital graphics community. Unfortunately, Dennis passed away before his patent was approved.

​

Marion holds a Bachelor's degree in Theology and Christian Studies and is also licensed as a Officiant in the State of Ohio. In addition to her creative pursuits, she spent many years working as a private investigator, where she developed a keen eye for detail, observation, research, and the pursuit of truth. She also holds a certification in Microexpression Analysis, a specialized skill that further developed her ability to recognize subtle facial cues and forms of nonverbal communication.

​

She is the author of FIRST, YOU MUST BE CLEANSED, a deeply personal work that explores faith, dreams, divine insights, visions, life's trials, and a profound near-death experience that transformed her understanding of God and His purpose.

​

Many of Miyon's original oil and acrylic paintings bear her distinctive fingerprint signature, making each piece uniquely identifiable as an authentic original.

​

Beyond her professional work, Miyon finds inspiration in art, music, photography, research, family, and the experiences of everyday life. She enjoys exploring ideas, asking questions, and discovering the stories and meaning behind the things that capture her attention.

​

At the heart of her creative work is a simple belief: Love One Another. Her personal motto, "Love One Another," is woven throughout her artwork, writing, and daily life. She believes that kindness, compassion, genuine love, and treating others with dignity remain among the greatest gifts we can offer one another.

​

Whether through art, photography, writing, or ministry, Miyon's desire is to create work that inspires, encourages, and leaves a lasting impression. Above all, she hopes her creative work brings something meaningful into the lives of those who experience it.
