“I love the tiny details and vibrant colour in nature and find endless inspiration there. Abstract images appear in my mind, where I manipulate the size and colour I wish to see in the finished picture. Completing the work simply involves matching on paper what is already in my imagination.” M Smith
“I have always loved to draw, concentrating on graphic design at A-level. I studied Art at Dartford College of Education, specialising in pottery and design as part of my Teacher Training. I moved to Rochester in 1974.
Since qualifying I obtained a post-graduate diploma and taught for 8 years as a Teacher of Pupils with Specific Learning Difficulties at the Medway Dyslexia Centre. Following early retirement I resumed my early passion.
I have exhibited in various places including the Medway hospital as part of the Healing Arts Programme. I have had five solo exhibitions at the NAC Chatham and my work can also be viewed at the Nucleus gallery shop,75 High St. Rochester as well as the Nucleus gallery shop in Gabriel’s Hill, Maidstone. My website is www.marionsmithdrawings.com
I am married with 2 children and 8 grandchildren.” M Smith
