Marion Back is a painter living in North Ayrshire, with a studio in Largs. She took up painting later in life and has explored different styles and mediums before developing her own distinctive style.  Working mainly with acrylic paint she produces work which is abstract, based on shapes and colours found in nature. Recently her attention has turned to textile art, an artform she has long admired. Starting with small hand stitched abstract pieces she hopes to combine stitching and painting to create more interesting and expressive work.  She is looking forward to her time at Cove Park, where she intends to focus and develop her ideas.
