Carousel is a dream-spun orbit of fantasy and motion—a layered, abstract composition where surreal characters revolve in eternal rhythm. Painted with gestural strokes and a palette that hums with energy, the scene invites the viewer into a mythical carousel where time bends and symbols collide. 

At its centre, a gypsy figure rides a carnival horse mid-leap, surrounded by an unlikely procession: a Native camelid with ancient poise, a cheeky monkey full of restless charm, a serene mermaid suspended in mid-spin, and a lion exuding quiet authority. Each subject holds its own mythology—woven together in a circle of movement, emotion, and memory. 

Carousel isn’t just playful—it’s symbolic. The spinning cycle speaks to life’s rhythms, our shared inner worlds, and the fantastical forces that guide us. This is Fantasi at full tilt—where freedom, wonder, and wild love dance in loops, forever tethered to the heart of imagination.

About the
Seller

Marcia Priestley is a lifelong creative whose practice is grounded in curiosity, reinvention, and a deep engagement with the act of making. Before dedicating herself fully to painting, she established a successful career in interior design—an experience that continues to inform her sensitivity to space, texture, and form. Her creative path has always been expansive and evolving, moving seamlessly between disciplines and driven by an instinctive desire to explore new terrains, whether through visual art, design, or the prospect of future ventures that merge creativity and wellbeing.

Priestley’s work has gained international recognition, appearing on Magnolia Network USA (Design Down Under, Season 2), represented in RH (USA/Europe), Greenhouse Interiors, and featured in select galleries worldwide. Yet despite this reach, her practice remains deeply personal—rooted in a tactile, intuitive process and an enduring fascination with emotion, place, and memory.

Based in central Victoria, Priestley lives and works surrounded by rugged bushland, where her studio opens out to a horizon of gum trees and shifting light. This environment infuses her work with a grounded energy—an unfiltered connection to nature and rhythm. Between painting and hiking, she continues to pursue the boundless spirit that defines her career: a life devoted to art, curiosity, and the endless pursuit of creative freedom.
