I now live and paint from my small home studio in the village of Harpley in the beautiful northwest of Norfolk, having moved from the Isle of Skye in November 2009.
It has been a busy summer for me, with the joining of West Norfolk Artist's Association, several mixed group exhibitions and working on my latest body of work - 'Ancient Landscapes'.
I am also delighted to be included in the upcoming Green Pebble art book due for publication in the autumn. Plus I will be one of the artists showcasing in the september/october issue of Green Pebble magazine.
I also teach acrylics and mixed-media in one-to-one workshops for those wishing to try out the medium or 'loosen-up' their style in a friendly, relaxed environment. See 'diary' link on right for more information.
I'm always busy creating new work and arranging exhibitions so do continue to check the 'diary' link on the right for latest news.
A big thankyou to all my valued customers for your support and interest. I do hope you will continue to follow my work* and that it may be possible for you to either visit me in Norfolk/visit my latest exhibitions, or if not, to continue to visit my website to find out what I'm up to.
I'm still interested in commissions - however far afield!
A big welcome to new visitors from Norfolk and elsewhere.
Please do contact me (01485 520116 or email info@marifrench.com) to arrange to view new work or for more information regarding commissions or one-to-one workshops.

*A small selection of work based on skye and the highlands, will still be on sale at Broadford Gallery, Old Pier Road, Broadford, Isle of Skye for the forseeable future
