Marie Louise Wrightson

Life painters of the 17th Century: painters such as Pieter Claesz, Willem Kalf and contemporary artists like Scottish-born painter Joyce Cairns and American photo-realist painter Ralph Goings. Marie uses the style method of a dark, almost black background, frequently used by the Dutch still life painters. This technique accentuates the imagery in the foreground, bringing exuberance to the painted still life work.
From Dundee to London Marie has held numerous solo and group exhibitions, including an exhibition at The Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh. Her works are held in many public and private collections in the UK, Ireland and Australia including the St Andrews Museum collection. She has also been featured in many national and local publications.
