Maryanne Nicholls:

Maryanne lives in Aldeburgh and works from her studio at home.

The discipline of drawing and the study of anatomy are central to her practice. Her rapid sketches inform Maryanne’s larger-scale drawings, paintings and sculptures. For those, she use layers of spontaneous mark-making to capture the movement and physicality of the subject, be it the human form or the flowers that grow in my garden.

Maryanne’s work has featured in exhibitions across the country and her former large, resin sculptures can be found in private gardens in England and abroad.

Maryanne’s ceramics can currently be seen at 8 Holland Street in London and Bath – www.8hollandstreet.com.
