Portrait of Marina M

Marina M is a visual artist who works from observation across drawing, painting, ink, and photography. Her subjects range from portraits and landscapes to studies of bark, food, and animals, drawn from life and from her own photographs.

Drawing is the foundation of her practice, and she keeps it daily through projects such as Inktober. She works quickly and from life wherever she can, valuing range and close attention over any single medium.

She continues to develop her practice through studio work, commissions, and exhibition. She lives and works in London.
