About this listen

Behind every painting, there is a story.

A poignant and heartfelt memoir uncovering the highs, the lows, and the paintings of an artist with a lifetime of stories to tell.

Through serious life challenges, including divorce, family suicide and cancer, Marquiss discovered a relationship with her art in the form of a circular language. Throughout her life, Mary Marquiss has turned to her art as a constant source of inspiration and strength, navigating life’s challenges and changes through her creative expression. Behind the Painting opens a window into the artist’s creative process, revealing the experiences, emotions and insights that brought these works to life. A comfort to anyone who has dealt with divorce, suicide, a stroke, cancer or loneliness.
