Marie Mitchell combines her two lifelong passions for nature and textiles in her mixed media art practice.
Her work is significantly influenced by current global events and national issues, including climate change, threats to the Australian environment and the current refugee crisis. Convinced everyone can do something to effect change-Marie's something is raising awareness of what is being done and how people can get involved. She believes art can touch people in ways scientific data cannot. Her work is intended to generate awareness and appreciation for the natural world while exploring its fragility and our role as caretakers for future generations. She wants her work to inspire the viewer to think alternatively, speak out and join others in collective action to foster change. |

For the past two years, Marie has focussed on the 'Wetland Stories Project' collecting stories from the local community and exploring how the wetlands form part of personal and community identity. These stories of hope and loss, generosity and cruelty, resilience and heroism have left a strong community legacy and are the inspiration for Marie's new collection of artworks to be exhibited in October 2023 with three other local artists, at the Mandurah Performing Arts Centre.
