Non-representational painting
Paintings are made on 4'x4' plywood sheets, wrapped with burlap. The rustic texture adds depth and shadow to each piece. These humble, prosaic materials evoke memories of an agricultural life for the artist. Elementary symbols are present - a hand, a circle, a cross - to evoke social and spiritual connections that have always sustained us.

Taught by her father as a child, Marian later earned an art degree and completed a scene-painting apprenticeship. Her large, vibrant canvases bridge her artistic passion with environmental advocacy, highlighting how modern consumption impacts the planet. Through bold colour and scale, she transforms ecological concern into unique visual narratives.
