Biography
Marion's vision is to create vibrant joyful, paintings that bring excitement and colour into someones lovely home. In capturing a feeling or that sense of 'being in the landscape'; Marion's paintings can be enjoyed from examing them close at hand or from a distance.
inspiration
In 2024 she began to explore more abstract style paintings. She is thrilled with them as they explore her theme of FREEDOM - but a freedom that is grounded and real. Marion says “I'm not a youngster and although I believe all of life is a fabulous adventure and a journey to celebrate I do not want freedom that is ungrounded or flippant or unreal. I once explained that I want my life to be lovely whilst still touching the sides. The sides to me are the grit and grime, the struggles and tears - the stuff that makes life real and challenging and that brings balance to the sunshine, laughter and joy of each day.”
Buyers have resonated with these new pieces and some have commissioned Marion for bespoke paintings to adorn their homes.
As we enter 2025 she will continue to work in a exciting abstract style capturing the emotions we experience and the landscapes in which we live.
medium
Marion works with a range of materials including collage; acrylic paint & ink; gouache crayon; artist's pens and also stitching. Colour plays a vital role in her work and the richness of depth is achieved through using a multi-layered, mixed media approach. Often 10+ layers are applied before a piece is completed.
