Marian Dorothé

Hello! Welcome! My name is Marian Dorothe and I live and work from this quote:

“There is so much beauty
look around you
and be amazed!”

After a career in mental health care, I still chose to attend art school; namely the teacher training in visual arts and design. I enjoyed every minute of it and subsequently worked as an art teacher in education for 13 years. Eighteen months ago I decided to change course again and pursue a career as a visual artist and teaching creativity courses, the latter in the broadest sense of the word.

And I enjoy it! Back to the source, who am I, what do I want, why am I here, what do I have to say, what is my story... and then, from that starting point, create work and share my knowledge. Inspiring people to do this too, to return to the source, because creativity is in all of us... I love it!

I currently find my inspiration mainly in nature, in all its beauty, shapes, structures and colors. She gives me insights and answers. I like to paint my free interpretation of her.
I love paint on a canvas, creating without a plan, accidental discoveries and surprises that arise while you are working."
