Marion Martin
lives in York, but
Africa is her passion. She has sketched and painted in Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi,
Namibia and South Africa and "every trip leaves me longing to return again as soon as I can.
Africa excites and stimulates the senses with its heat and light and rich
vibrant colours; its huge sweeping vistas and vast skies; its scents and sounds
and the incredible variety of wild life; and, not least, the warmth and
generosity of the people. Such stimulation triggers a response in pencil
and paint, generating images which I hope capture something of the excitement I
feel every visit I make." In 2001, Marion completed her Visual Arts Degree
Course at Cheltenham Art College, and since then she has partaken in numerous
group exhibitions in UK, as well as held two solo exhibitions in York in 2004.
