Below is more of their story and some pictures of what they love and appreciate about their Studios and materials they use!
Marion Hughes – Gladstone Qld
Marion loves nature and her surroundings so it comes as no surprise that her subject matter depicts birds, wildlife etc. She also loves exploring the face so portraiture has come into her subject matter in recent times.
She is passionate about watercolour and it is no surprise that she ultimately returns to this fascinating medium every time.
Marion has exhibited in many art exhibitions over the years and owned her own gallery in Gladstone, Central Queensland where she resides at present.
She has been teaching her techniques in classes and workshops over the last 10 years and loves passing on knowledge about the magic world of painting with watercolour adding in mixed media and ink to bring her work to life.
Most recently, Marion was chosen, via the Australian Watercolour Muster the brainchild of fellow artist, Wyn Vogel, to represent Australia with 33 other exceptional Australian Artists, at FabrianoInAquarello – Italy May 2020, to showcase our work along with artists from over 80 countries.
