Marnie Jay is a Litchfield based visual artist who has worked in multiple disciplines using her background in graphic design and illustration. Mentored by Tony Oliver - Australian Geographic Illustrator and receiving an Award for “Best Graduating Illustrator”. 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 and become a full time artist in that medium. 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 of the region to depict Litchfield in her works. She paints weekdays and has a shop open weekends at Coolalinga Central, in rural Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia.
