Marie Phillips is a Croydon based contemporary artist whose modern abstract expressionist paintings explore the shifting energies of the natural world. Her work is influenced by the intense colour created when light passes through coloured glass, especially stained glass panels, and by the way colour transforms with changes in light and atmosphere. This fascination underpins her belief that colour is dynamic, alive, and emotionally charged.
Working primarily with acrylic paints and pastels, Marie captures the subtle moments when light, weather, and nature begin to move: the lift of air before a storm, the trace of a garden scent that stirs a memory, or the rhythm of a landscape transitioning between seasons. Her practice centres on translating these fleeting sensations into expressive, layered compositions.
After a career in financial services in the City, Marie shifted her focus to creative work and now develops personal projects and undertakes private commissions.
