Claudine Marzik

Originally from Basel in Switzerland, Claudine Marzik migrated to Cairns in 1988 and as a real Swiss turning a true blue she has stayed in the Far North. She lives, works and creates art from her homebase in Cairns. "As a young artist, I already had a great interest in the arts in Basel, however the inspiration that the new environment of Australia offered artistically, was to be discovered in depth, over many years here." Claudine's work is in major public and private collections including the Artbank Australia collection. She has held major exhibitions within Australia and overseas and has been a finalist and winner of a number of art awards. She’s best known for her large abstract works influenced by Queensland’s unique and distinctive landscape. The recent screenprints presented in this exhibition reduce the atmosphere of Australian native forrests surrounding Cairns, Savannah and Tablelands to their most elemental forms.

Of the North, For the North

We work to support artists achieve their aspirations. Artists set their prices and we add a standard service and marketing commission - this supports our not-for-profit programs and allows us to continually turn over the highest-quality artistic products.

Most artworks are one-offs and completely original in the iconic style of that artist; with the exception of intaglio and relief prints, which the organisation is renowned for. Check out our selection of limited-edition fine art printmaking.

Over 95% of the artists we support are from North Queensland. We work with both independent artists and those represented by commercial dealers and art centres.
