Marina has a BA Honours degree in Fine Art and History of Art from Goldsmiths College, University of London.

Then followed a career as a set decorator in the film industry.

Having moved from London to Devon 12 years ago, she has once again resumed her first love - painting.

Her abstract landscape work is an immediate and intuitive response to the forms and structure of the local Jurassic coastline beside the Devon hills and fields where land andwater meet, captured on walks with charcoal sketches, evolving to paintings in the studio. The same exploration of shapes and colour interacting with marks and texture plays in the still life paintings.
