MARI MACKIE |
From an early age I have always yearned to be able to be creative, whether through drawing, painting, decorating, dressmaking and or designing. Unfortunately in my younger days a good “secure” steady job with a pension was considered the only way. |
However that part of me, deep down inside, the real me, always alive to the beauty of the Creation in which we live, thus my love and eye for the outdoors, nature, gardening, colours, textures, shapes and beauty together with the wanting to create, stayed high on my agenda. |
Finally, after 30 years in the corporate world, an unforeseen wake-up call, although unpleasant at the time, allowed me to really explore my deep seated love for all things artistic and I literally started a whole new life. Being able to express my feelings with various mediums and in various ways became the most important aspect of my being. |
Without any formal artistic education or training, I have trained myself to paint by studying art books and art internet sites and am continuously doing so to improve my knowledge, techniques and skills. |
My discovery of social media, where I have been able to meet a whole bunch of really beautiful, funny, lovable, intelligent people from all over the world, share artistic and other ideas, learn and grow was an added bonus. |
I have been a full time artist since 2009, and although it was and is not always plain sailing, the satisfaction and joy that I have finally gained by allowing the artist in me to come out is enormous. |
Creating artworks, doing commissions, experimenting, having to make changes, re-do failures? Priceless!!! |
Welcome to my world! |
