Marianne makes atmospheric paintings of sea and landscapes in oils on wood, invoking a sense of place in the onlooker. Her prints and collages are more abstract, on themes of transitoriness and fragility. The latter incorporate eroded man-made materials and organic fragments. Her work is held in many private collections throughout the UK and USA. Marianne lives and works in East Suffolk near woods and sea, originally training in textiles at Lowestoft and North Essex School of Art. She is also a poet.
