Marnie, Violet, Lynn - prints of a series of three acrylic portraits on canvas by Marnie Falla

ARTIST STATEMENT: Inspired by the beauty of ordinary moments in everyday life, I’ve painted three portraits of people in my family, trying to convey a sense of serenity and familiarity. To illustrate this, I used cool colours for the backgrounds, spreading the paint with a palette knife to create texture. ABOUT THE ARTIST: This piece is Shortlisted in the 2021 Sovereign Art Foundation Students Prize in Guernsey. Marnie created these artworks aged 17 while studying at the Sixth Form Centre.
