Marie is a multi-disciplinary artist originating from Aotearoa, New Zealand and currently based in Bondi Beach, Sydney Australia.

Of New Zealand Maori descent and brought up within a farming family, Marie often incorporates elements of indigenous cultures and rituals while primarily using natural materials such as raw linen, wood, charcoal and graphite. Her emotive art works form a narrative surrounding human connection in relation to the natural world, inviting the viewer on an introspective journey.

Captivated by the face and societies fascination with ideal beauty, makeup artistry and painting go hand in hand for Marie. Her makeup career began at New Zealand’s Maori Television and Prime/Sky Television which led on to work for London’s ITV, numerous production companies, several award winning short films and a variety of independent creative projects.
