Marion Bond
Marion won a Brooke Bond Children's Art Prize when she was 10! She was selected for additional art lessons at school and gained the equivalent of an A-level in Art, but decided to study English Language and Literature at Glasgow University (MA Hons). She remained there for Post-Graduate studies in Psychology and Education.
Concurrently, Marion was awarded a Cert Ed and went on to teach for thirty seven years at Sixth Form Colleges and various comprehensive and independent secondary schools. She won the Wells Festival of Literature Prize for Poetry in the 1990s and wrote reviews for South magazine, often reading with poets at The Gantry, Southampton, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and at events in Winchester Cathedral. Her anthology 'Its Own Place' is available from Blackwell's. Recently she supported and coached figures in public life who required vocal coaching and needed assistance with speech writing.
As she was singing in chamber choirs and with The Waynflete Singers, and giving solo recitals, art had to take a place on the back burners. But it has always been her passion and now, in retirement, she is trying to make up for lost time with the encouragement of her fellow artists at Lechlade Arts Society. Marion is influenced by the Fauves, the Impressionists and the Scottish Colourists.
