Meet Marianne, once a college illustration student who went on to become a graphic designer before developing her skills and branching out into the world of fine art, textiles crafting, metal clay, pottery, and photography, amongst other art forms, including the use of recycled materials. It was alongside her passion for animals that Marianne’s skills in fine art painting really took off, from personal interest to then painting for clients and in particular, pets.

While running primary school arts and crafts courses at several locations across the UK, Marianne was able to expand in her teaching and the use of different materials and techniques which helped inspire more diversification in her skill set.

Exploration into other mediums began to take off, ultimately leading towards a speciality in metal clay jewellery and to a Diploma in Art Silver Clay and PMC teaching certification which is now being delivered through her various workshops and courses.
