Marnie Jay is an Australian, Northern Territory based visual artist who has worked in multiple disciplines using her background in graphic design and illustration. Mentored by Tony Oliver - Australian Geographic Illustrator, she received the Award for “Best Graduating Illustrator” at University of Western Sydney, Nepean. Marnie spent her professional life working with major media outlets, art institutions and freelancing to eventually find inspiration from the natural environment to progress to painting as a full time artist. Her works are mostly inspired by the Litchfield area and surrounds with an emphasis on nature and the juxtaposition of urban and rural life on those habitats. Part environmental commentary, part wildlife documentation she uses humour, vibrant natural colour and her own unique interpretation to meticulously create works of wonder and joy. She paints weekdays in her studio and has a shop open weekends at Coolalinga Central, in rural Darwin, Northern Territory.
