Marie Mansfield's work centres around people and places in an unexpected dance. Her paintings are often devoid of people, yet alive with traces of their presence - a spectral energy that conjures melancholy, nostalgia and bemusement. 

In 'Letter from Dad', an open envelope lays on an empty surface. With this simple composition, Mansfield captures the memory of communication and connection. Imbued with a sense of mystery, her work invites contemplation - what might the letter have said? It offers a gentle nod to our ability to connect despite distance and absence.

Mansfield is an esteemed contemporary artist. In 2021 she won the Portia Geach portrait prize for women and in 2020 completed a residency at Bundanon. She is also a Doug Moran, Archibald and Mosman Prize finalist. For collectors of contemporary art, still lives and female artists, Mansfield is an elegant find.
