b. 1978, Kilmore, Victoria - Australia

Marce is a portrait and figurative artist based in Australia.

In their work, Marce currently utilizes drawing and painting mediums, however, they are also passionate about printmaking, majoring in Lithography at University. 

Marce's first Solo Exhibition was in 2006 at Brunswick Street Gallery in Melbourne, Victoria. Marce has gone on to have multiple solo shows in Melbourne, Bendigo and Ballarat and participated in many group shows in Australia, Europe and online.

Marce obtained a Bachelor of Visual Arts degree from Latrobe University, graduating with distinction and winning the graduate award at the end of their degree. The graduate award was a scholarship that allowed them to travel through Europe creating art and exploring the world for a number of years.  This experience had a profound influence on their practice and cemented their love of art and their chosen subject matter of the human form.

Marce is looking forward to exhibiting their work in New York for the first time in September 2022.
