Marion Webber

I was born in Oakville, Ontario, Canada, and was privy to my mother's painting style early on. My mother was influenced by the Group of Seven, especially Tom Thompson who was a personal friend of the family, particularly her father, Dr. Alexander Pirie. My grandmother was an avid art collector, buying well known Canadian and European artists including Turner, Rembrandt, Cornelius Krieghoff and Paul Peel. So, at a young age, I was exposed to excellent art. Since 1998, I've been creating many works in oil pastel, graphite, acrylics, ink, and oils. I have taught fine and applied art students and continue to conduct workshops. In recent years, my newer work has become more of an inner journey of impressions and feelings in the guise of nature. The work is more visceral and abstracted.
