Marion Sorell
Nature and Folklore brings together a collection of mosaics, paintings, poetry and artworks created by Marion Sorell over the past 25 years.
Inspired by nature, folklore and a lifelong love of traditional folk songs and ballads, Marion uses found objects, shells, branches, twigs and other natural materials in her work.
Creating art has become an important part of Marion’s life. She enjoys working intuitively , often not knowing what she will make until she begins. More recently, poetry has become her main form of creative expression after taking the ‘Write mindful’ course at OT creative space, alongside acrylic painting created at a local carers group.
Marion’s work invites us to look more closely at the world around us, to notice the beauty and stories in everyday things, from the haunting call of a curlew to a simple dandelion growing by the roadside.
Through this exhibition, Marion encourages us to pause, look again and see familiar things in a different way.
