Marnie Woods is a Melbourne/ Naarm based proud autistic self-taught artist. Central to her practice is drawing, illustrating and miniatures.
She works with a variety of analog (non digital) mediums ranging from inks to copics, fine liners, polymer clay, sculpture, acrylics, wood, found objects, charcoal and pastels. Marnie is an avid nature enthusiast, creating art inspired by the world around her, along with myths and legends. She has always been drawn to art as a method of self-expression ever since she was a very young child, forever drawing butterflies, dragons and stingrays on any scrap of paper. Marnie uses quirkiness; obscuring messages, hiding them in plain sight to reflect the duality in everything, whilst also portraying the irony of life and her perspectives. As a woman with autism, Marnie’s art helps her navigate her disabilities.
