About

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.
