Marina Renée-Cemmick is a figurative Artist concerned with people and the spaces they inhabit - physically and mentally. Choosing to work predominantly with the human body, she draws from life, memory and imagination to create  drawings and paintings that are rooted in reality but have a theatrical or dreamlike quality.  Her confident line work comes from years of life study and translating onto the page, while her colourful mark making is an instinctive expression of what she sees. 

She works in a range of mediums including charcoal, colour pencil and oil paint. Originally from Dorset, Marina showed talent for portraiture and drawing at an early age. After studying Fine Art at Glasgow School of Art, she became a MA scholar on the Drawing year at The Royal Drawing School, London before reconnecting with her love for Scotland. She now lives and works near Glasgow. 

Recently she exhibits in the Herbert Smith Freehills Portrait Award at The National Portrait Gallery, London. Marina made an appearance on season 10 of SkyArts Portrait Artist of the Year, drawing Actor Nigel Havers. She has had work personally selected by HRH King Charles for the Royal Collection, as well as had work exhibited with Christies, The Royal Society of Portrait Painters and New English Arts Club, Mall Galleries, London.
