About me

I am a published writer living in England. In the midst of a nervous breakdown in a psychiatric hospital I began to mess about with pastels. The favourable reactions of others encouraged me to continue and I started to slowly recover. Six years later I am still enjoying doing them. I work from photographs I take rather than from life as I work slowly and Real Life just won't keep still!

Marie's Pastels

I love to use pastels not just to recreate a scene but also to somehow inject my own feelings into the picture to give it a "personal" perspective. In the portraits of my children I've tried to bring out the individuality of each one of them, not just the way they look but also something of their personality.

Thank you Marie for your kind comments.
Your pastels are absolutely beautiful! I'm partial towards the landscapes but have to say, the portraits are fantastic too. Hope you are going to add more...
