A Little about me…
Melbourne born singer and actor, Marita progressed into portraiture during the last ten years, introduced to and inspired by artist, Julie Poulsen.
Marita travelled around Australia settling mainly in Darwin N.T. to complete her diploma in theatre arts and Broome W.A working closely with Jimmy Chi to develop a script for his musical Bran Nu Dae.
Marita has curated two “Pop Up” exhibitions over the last five years, one of the two being a solo event, the second being a collaboration with six local artists.
Her most recent exhibition and body of works, “Community, Kids and The Bridge”, is a culmination of Marita’s life experience, her connections with children, the Machans beach community and her love of portraiture .
Melbourne born artist, Marita’s progression into painting and portraiture was inspired by her career in the creative arts theatre and music. Coming to Cairns gave her the opportunity to be guided by the truly amazing artist, Julie Poulsen.
