MARION THOMSON

​

As a landscape artist, Marion believes it is fundamental to experience your subject first hand. She sketches, paints and take photographs in situ, trying to commit the experience to memory.

​

Back in her studio she translates these sources onto canvas. The works may take days or weeks before she can lay them aside and be happy with them. 

​

She has been commissioned through galleries as well as by individuals and has paintings in private and corporate collections. Marion is a member of the Society of Scottish Artists and has exhibited far and wide in Britain and abroad.
