Marianne Ley

Designer Marianne Ley’s work is thematic, inspired by an eclectic mixture of 18th & 19th century etchings, vintage print, decorative ephemera and manuscripts. Marianne collages many of these elements combining them with her own drawings. Her love for, and use of, colour is instantly apparent when viewing any aspect of her work. The historical collides with the contemporary to create a curious and distinctive style.
Marianne has supplied the gallery with luxurious velvet cushions and satin lampshades for several years. In 2019 her first limited edition has been released, ‘Fig 1. The Hare’ with the promise of more to come!
My work is thematic and inspired by populated with Woodland Creatures, Shy Geishas and inquisitive Owls.
