Marilet Pretorius is an artist who works with earth pigments, botanical dyes, and graphite in the disciplines of printmaking, painting, and fiber arts.

Originally from South Africa, her studies include Industrial Design at Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City, Interior Architecture at Boston Architectural College, Graphic Design at Art Institute of Boston, and Product Design at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. She is a juried member of the California Society of Printmakers. Her work is in various private and corporate collections. She works with architects and interior designers on commissioned projects, and she is represented by Hugomento gallery in San Francisco, CA and Pulp gallery in Holyoke, MA. She currently lives and creates in Carmel, California.
