Notes from Marie
My paintings reflect a focus on good design and color choices. Light and shadows play an important role too, helping the viewer to realize their impression of the scene portrayed.
Many of my paintings are based on my love of nature and my feelings when immersed in the scenery - the way the sunlight plays on the surroundings, and the palette of colors that emerge. The challenge for me is bringing these feelings and impressions to the canvas.
My training at Pratt Institute began my appreciation for painting what I love, and I hope the viewer will find the result interesting and stimulating.
