Unintentional shapes created by plants, urban sprawl and the light that connects them inform Marina's pieces. Figures are often faceless; they are loved ones, strangers, ghosts. She considers our human impact and current move towards the digital age as part of evolution and explores the blurring boundaries between humans and nature.

Marina holds a BA(Hons) in Visual Communications from Grays School of Art in Aberdeen, where she explored how our cultures' religious background affects our individual perceptions of our relationship with the physical Earth. She also hold a BSc in Geography and Computing Science from the University of Glasgow; these studies have given her a solid context for her continuing art practice. 

Intrigued by the emerging digital landscape in the early 2000s, Marina pursued a career as a Digital Designer in the broadcast industry for 15 years, before returning to the Highlands with her young family. After running a small guesthouse for five years and working for Moniack Mhor, Scotland's National Writing Centre, for four years, Marina secured a place in Inverness Creative Academy where she now focuses primarily on her art practice.
