Marie Therese spends her days painting and creating surrounded by the beautiful Central Coast of NSW. She only needs to walk into her backyard to become inspired!
Road trips are an another passion, hence many of her works depict the many places she has visited around Australia. She was totally captivated by the colours of Western and Central Australia.

Growing up in Orange in the Central West of New South Wales, Marie Therese spent most of her childhood painting and drawing. After school, Marie Therese took the first train from Orange to Sydney, bound for Art School! Marie Therese spent four exciting and eye-opening years making art – majoring in painting and drawing and eventually graduating from UNSW with a Dip Art Ed. Harnessing her eye for form, colour and texture, Marie Therese started her own fashion design, manufacturing and retail business, which she ran successfully for forty years. After four decades of fashion, Marie Therese fell in love with beautiful Avoca Beach on the NSW Central Coast. She now spends all her time painting. Marie Therese is inspired by the colours of the local bush and bird life. She believes there’s no greater beauty than nature; the wild flashes of colourful feathers, the pretty pastels of our native blooms and the serene blue and green tones of our ocean. Her art captures a single moment of beauty, reminding us of what’s right there if we care to slow down, and just take a look.
Most of her recent works come with a floating frame made from recycled timber.
