Fibre art
Marie likes to be surrounded by vibrant colours and busy patterns. It makes her happy to see her world through a kaleidoscope of colour, shape and form.
She is influenced by her early years rummaging through mountains of fabric, buttons, beads, braids and brown drafting paper. Marie followed in her father’s designer footsteps completing a Fashion Design course at Queensland College of Art and an Associate Diploma in Visual Arts which included Printmaking at Kelvin Grove College of Advanced Education.
Marie's traditional and contemporary pieces are textile based, incorporating embroidery, applique, machine stitching and embellishments along with the occasional use of gouache, collected together like a curious and hoarding Bowerbird.
Her works have been featured in both Australian and international quilting publications, and she has exhibited in group shows and exhibitions in Brisbane, the UK, USA and Europe.
Marie has also been recognized as a Winner in the QLD RAQ Fashion Awards in the Collections Category and National Winner VIP Fabric Quilt Block Challenge.
