Marion was born in Glasgow in 1958, and has lived in Scotland all her life. She likes to combine a love of hill-walking with painting al fresco to capture life with a sense of urgency and immediacy.

She works mainly in oils, enjoying the intensity of sculpting the paint with knives, rags and fingers. Rather than become restricted to one genre, Marion feels it is necessary to paint still life, real life, landscape and portraiture.

"My aim is always to capture the 'moment' in my paintings. I would probably describe myself as a representational/romantic artist and my focus is on light. My subject matter is always real and studied, from the number of petals on a flower to the atmosphere and presence of a sitter. When painting life I am looking for mood and presence and for the skin to breathe. With still life the colours are all there so I am looking for light, while with landscape I am looking at the time of day and the weather".
