Marie Shannon
I am an emerging artist based on the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. I started my journey after an alternative career and a fascinating trip through the Andes in Chile.
The majority of my work is hand worked with Copper and recovered objects without the use of heat. My aim is to run a sustainable studio by working with recycled or discarded objects to create pieces of art and beautiful household decor.
All of my pieces can be recycled when no longer used.
