About
Marina Fox received a BA. Hons in Metalsmithing from Monash University, Melbourne Australia in 1995. She has led an eclectic life, including sending her equine-themed fine jewellery all over the world, creating medieval and fantasy-inspired leather costumes for horses and dogs, assisting a master falconer with live raptors in festivals and film, training horses, renovating historic houses, and choreographing and performing vibrant fire performances. An artistic polymath, Marina has explored in depth multiple disciplines including bronze sculpture, fine silver and gold jewellery, watercolours, acrylics, leather, glass casting and timber carving. She sees each discipline as part of the art toolbox and sees no reason to limit herself to just one.
In recent years she has focused on bronze and painting with themes of figurative women and birds. The female pose forms the outer self, and the addition of birds represents the emotional spirit, drive and secret inner thoughts of women everywhere. A touch of myth and fantasy adds the element of possibility and embrace of the unknown.

The master in the art of living
makes little distinction between
his work and his play,
his labour and his leisure,
his mind and his body,
his education and his recreation,
his love and his religion.
He hardly knows which is which.
He simply pursues his vision of excellence
in whatever he does,
leaving others to decide
where he is working or playing.
To him (or her), he is always doing both.
~ Lawrence Pearsall Jacks (1932) ~
