Marion Adams
Marion Adams has lived in Devon for most of her life. Her interest in art began early, and when she wasn’t drawing, she was reading up on art history. In her twenties, she took life classes and focused on drawing in charcoal and pencil and working with pastels. While juggling the demands of raising a family and a writing career, she kept her art inspiration alive through helping her children with their creative projects and developed a lasting interest in collage. Since returning to her regular art practice, Marion has taken in-depth courses on a range of subjects including digital art, mixed media and intuitive composition. In 2020, she completed the Creative Visionary Program (CVP), an intensive 12-week course led by Californian abstract artist Nicholas Wilton. Marion currently works with a variety of media, including acrylic, gouache, ink and pencil. Her main focus is abstract painting and collage. She draws inspiration from coast and field, woodland and moorland – landscapes of shifting light, colour, texture and sound that evoke or even demand a deep emotional response. Marion is also a published poet, and as with poetry, her approach to art is intuitive and experimental. While being grounded in the natural elements of her surroundings, Marion’s art focuses on the interplay between clarity and ambiguity, memory and imagination, and longing and belonging. Marion is a member of Devon Artist Network. Her work has been exhibited by Artizan Gallery (English Riviera Winter Open, Small Works Exhibition), London-based gallery The Holy Art (virtual exhibition: The Metamorphosis) and online gallery Fragile Express

Exhibition Record
English Riviera Winter Open Exhibition 2021
Our annual English Riviera Winter Open Exhibition returns for another year and currently, this is the last confirmed Winter show we will run from our Fleet Walk venue! We've had a great return to our programme this year thanks to the incredible support of artists and audiences, with our last open show, The English Riviera Summer Exhibition, the closest we've felt to "normal" since before the pandemic. With this in mind, we're looking to keep the momentum going with another great Winter Open show to celebrate the holiday season. As with our Summer Open, this exhibition will run for 7 weeks, all the way up to Christmas Eve.
