Marnie Hutchinson Awram has more than 30 years’ experience as a practicing artist. Having studied Fine Arts, she then went on to live and work in London and Europe from 1985 to 1986, returning to Western Australia to work and exhibit as a professional artist. Up-skilling with a Bachelor of Creative Industries (painting major) from JCU, she then went on to study Design Project Photography at the University of Applied Sciences, Wurzburg University, Germany 2015 and 2016 and travel to New York, London, Venice and Germany to gain insight into the contemporary Art trends and practices.
Her own practice explores ideas of memory, place and identity, using a multidisciplinary approach allows her to cross between traditional and digital media with ease. This is demonstrated in her interest in creating multi-sensory immersive installations.
Marnie has vast experience as a Gallery Installation Technician, along with Gallery Management and Cultural Conservation. She teaches drawing, painting, and digital media at TAFE Queensland, Cairns.
