Contemporary Painter in oils and mixed media
About Marie
Marie Baird is a Scottish Contemporary Painter originally from Airdrie.
After successful careers in both the Public and Private Sectors, an opportunity in 2015 allowed her to rekindle a love for painting that life and family commitments had put on the back burner.
In 2018, she completed a Diploma in Art at the Norfolk Painting School.
She has been selected for group exhibitions around Norfolk. Her painting, ‘Bright New Day’, oil on canvas, from the series ‘When Words Are Not Enough’, was selected by the IEA Institute of East Anglian Artists Summer Exhibition.
Having lived and worked in the Far East and Europe, Marie is now based in Norfolk, England where she lives with her husband John and continues to paint in oils and mixed media from her Dereham studio.
Her works have been acquired by private collectors in the United States of America, Ireland and throughout the United Kingdom.
“For me painting, especially in oils, is all absorbing. I feel fortunate to have this opportunity, with the support and encouragement of my family, to explore my passion through my work”.

“For me, a landscape doesn’t exist in it’s own right…the surrounding atmosphere brings it to life.”
Claude Monet
“Art… demands the total involvement of the artist, otherwise it is nothing but decoration.”
Edvard Munch
