About Marianne Hornbuckle

 
 
  • Biography
    A life-long love of art and innate curiosity have lead Marianne Hornbuckle through many genres into abstraction. Through her colorful acrylic abstracts she has found a way to express her wonder at the mystery of it all. Complex layers of transparent, translucent, and opaque paint, mysterious texture, brilliant and subtle color, intrigue the viewer and bring to mind other worlds, of imagination, of feeling, of emotion, of spirit. The circles so prevalent in her work express connections, oneness, wholeness, the inter-connectedness of us all.

    At ten, exposure to the abstract expressionists formed her ideas about art, artists, and the "art-life" - she has been exploring that "mystery" for almost 60 years now, all the while marveling at where it has taken her. 

    Self-taught, she has worked in turn in watercolor, oil, acrylic, tinwork, adding clay & bronze some years ago. Her subjects have included life drawings, abstracted and representational landscapes, tinwork nichos, florals, watercolor portraiture, geometric abstracts and nudes in bronze. Represented in galleries for 20 years nationally and regionally, published by NYGraphic Society and Joan Cawley, collected by corporate and private entities nationally and internationally, she now represents herself independently using contemporary means. All this satisfies her curiosity and continues to move her forward in life and art.
