Creative Studios Artists and Collectives

Marie Mansfield is an observational painter who focuses on contemporary realism. Working as a tonalist, she draws from everyday situations, objects and environments. Employing a limited colour palette, her work evokes quiet emotional resonance. Her paintings often suggest human presence through absence. By leaving traces of energy, Mansfield invites viewers to form their own narratives and interpretations. 

Mansfield was awarded the Portia Geach Memorial Award in 2021 and has been a multiple finalist in prestigious Australian art prizes, including the Archibald Prize, Doug Moran Portrait Prize, Kilgour Prize, Mosman Art Prize and the Lester Prize. Further prizes include the Percival and the NSW Parliament Plein Air Painting Prize. She completed a Graduate Diploma of Painting at the National Art School, Sydney, in 2017. Residencies include Bundanon (2020) and the Wollemi Project (2021).

Mansfield’s work is held in public and private collections across Australia and in private collections internationally.
