Before painting full-time, Marie practised as a Certified Public Accountant — an academic discipline that still shapes the careful composition and draughtsmanship behind every canvas. Today she paints en plein air across Ireland with the Drumlin Plein Air Painters and works from her studio in Monaghan.
