Born in Toulouse in 1974, Marion grew up between her hometown and Normandy before settling in the southwest of France, near the Spanish border, where she currently lives. Trained as an architect, she studied in Toulouse and later in Barcelona, working for nearly twenty years as an independent architect. She has supported private clients and advised municipalities on heritage preservation, mainly in the southwest of France as well as on the French Riviera, in cities such as Nice and Antibes. Her career also took her to Canada, where she spent six months at an architecture firm in Toronto. Connected to painting since her student years, she has explored drawing, watercolor, acrylic—studied at the School of Fine Arts in Nice—and more recently dry pastel. Two years ago, she chose to devote herself fully to her artistic practice, and has since participated in several group and solo exhibitions in France and Spain. Nature is at the core of her inspiration: Mediterranean landscapes, pine trees, blue coastal tones, and the light of the region shape her work. A traveler attentive to her surroundings, she enriches her vision through contact with different cultures, a sensibility that echoes throughout her paintings.
