Marion is inspired by joy, strength, boldness and humor and is equally intrigued by imperfection and exaggeration. “Creating an image to your own ideals is so much more fun – and interesting – and emotionally evocative.”

She works with exaggeration, symbolism and distortion, as well as shapes that are different and unexpected. Amazing color control gives her paintings power and strength, and the combination of bold hues, contrast and abstract design, depict her own feelings toward the subject matter. Marion has garnered numerous juried awards for her paintings, and more than one thousand Collectors around the globe, who resonate with her visions.

She signs all her paintings with her initials - “me!” – the exclamation mark is based on the adage, “live your life as an exclamation, not an explanation.” Marion paints, runs her own gallery and resides in Sidney by the Sea, on Vancouver Island,  Canada.
