Marion King is a soulful, contemporary artist whose intuitive, abstract paintings invite reflection, and meet you exactly where you are: quietly, gently, powerfully, and in just the way you need.

Her work fuses influences from the natural landscape of her Irish heritage with the ordered geometry of Middle Eastern urban environments. She creates emotionally charged abstract art that reflects her innermost feelings and experiences. Painting is a form of meditation for her, connecting her to a quieter, deeper part of herself and helps her process the inner world she often can’t articulate with words.

She has exhibited internationally, completed artist residencies in Ireland and Bosnia, and continues to evolve her visual language through deep listening and creative exploration.
