Inspiration

Marie's paintings are renditions of her dreams, wishes, love, light, calmness and positive excitement. Her thought process, feelings and the state of being in the "now" reflects what she paints. 

As she get older and wiser, in an attempt to stay away from negative thoughts, she chose to portray hope, happiness  and love. That's why she focuses on beauty, nature, innocence of animals or color field that subliminally is pleasant to the senses. 

Being flexible working in different styles of painting, she mastered working on different subjects from nature and still life to portrait or figures. 

While she mostly does long studies, her preference is to capture the essence of the subject in a short study of gesture and motion. She describes her favorite word to be "obsession", because it leads to creativity
