40 x 50cm (canvas size) original painting by Marcia Priestley.
Acrylic on canvas.
Framed In Oak.

A Head study of Western Voyagers capturing the spirit of those who roam wide-open landscapes, carrying stories of exploration, resilience, and the quiet poetry of life on the move.

A soft, chalkiness texture emerges in Marcia's paintings formed by layers of texture creating a realistic view of depth and character. A technique unique to her work, Marcia Priestley’ evokes an engaging narrative fluent with emotion using a powdered application with acrylic on canvas to create a serene viewing. Lyrical tones are sculptured and composed of longitudinal arrangements or pattern formation creating movement, body, texture & difference.

My work isn’t simply about the subjects I paint—it’s about the story each piece holds beneath the surface. Every gesture, figure, or motif is a vessel for something deeper: a narrative thread, a remembered feeling, a provocation. The concept drives the composition. I’m less interested in perfect likeness and more drawn to evoking something intangible—an atmosphere, a tension, a moment suspended in thought. Ultimately, I’m interested in building pieces with a strong sense of character—works that feel alive and invite the viewer into a layered, emotional world.
