Artist Marabeth Quin
Hi! My name is Marabeth Quin and I’m an artist from Nashville, Tennessee. I have been painting for over ten years, but it was only a year ago that I began to take myself seriously as a painter and put my work out into the world. Being 42 years old at the time, maybe it was some mid-life resolve that helped me take the plunge, or possibly the fact that my kids were growing into beautiful, independent young adults led me to suddenly see myself in a different light; my days of hands-on motherhood are numbered and that phase of my life without children to raise was suddenly yawning before me and I saw that it was time to create my future.
When I moved to Nashville as a young girl of twenty-one, I was fortunate and met the right people which allowed me to quickly be able to eek out a living singing in the studio. Being a session singer is an incredibly interesting and rewarding job and I have been so grateful for it. The musicians I have worked with over the last 20+ years have enlarged my life and given me lifelong friendships and memories.
But ten years ago, the challenge was gone and I began to crave an activity that I had not done in decades–since childhood. I laugh now thinking about how hard and terrifying it was to make myself go to an art store and buy some paper and pastels! But I did and I use the memory of that now whenever I am scared to do something–look what happened simply because I overcame my fear and put pastel to paper.
I am very excited to see what my future holds and what creations are lying dormant inside me, waiting for me to evolve to a place where I can see and hear them and bring them into physical manifestation. Please be my guest and visit my world of art at www.marabethquin.com. I would be honored with your visit.
