Marie is an inventive artist who consistently pushes the boundaries of her technique, producing paintings that sing with her passion for life and the natural world.
Her technical skill as a painter combines with an in-depth knowledge of plants gained from her mother, a keen botanist and gardener. Whilst she began her working life as a nurse, a move to Cornwall in 2000 gave Marie the opportunity to begin painting full time. Asked to describe her technique, Marie says: ‘I take great delight in starting a new painting, brushing in the skies, this is the only time I use a brush; I then use pallet knives and my fingers to create the hedgerow.
