PORTRAIT PAINTER

Marina Killery’s portraits have the hall marks of classical English painting, and the influence of her former career in fashion resulting in a striking likeness of her sitter with a designer’s eye for colour and composition.

“I have spent my entire creative and professional life looking at faces.​ My work in fashion has given me an edge with my portraits. I understand color and composition, not only from the perspective of a fine art painter, but also as a couturier. I know what will flatter and enhance my sitter, what extraneous elements will add dimension and interest to the painting and say something about my subject’s personality"
