Tannis Marshall is an abstract artist and mother of three young children.

Inspired by the slow process and ritual she developed as an art director, her artistic practice aims to evoke a soothing sense of calm, through pieces that express balance and meaning, with a modern perspective that pervades beauty into everyday.

Her work explores an intuitive approach to painting — drawing from beauty in nature and her visual experience. Employing a neutral, matte color palette, her work is characterized by the pouring and manipulation of pigment and water on canvas in a conversational process that builds. The play of light, movement and textures in nature is echoed by the shapes, pigments and layers. She seeks balance through art as a form of self-expression.
