Marielle Schram (b.Eindhoven, the Netherlands) is a multi-disciplinary artist who focuses on the interplay of memory, of her lived and re-lived experience and the strength of emotions working with sculpture, painting and drawing.
Born and raised in the Netherlands, Schram graduated from the Akademie voor Beeldende Vorming, Tilburg (1987).
She has had several solo shows at the Fountain Gallery in London and been exhibited widely in group exhibitions both in the U.K., The Discerning Eye and the Derwent art prize, with the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers at the Mall Galleries, Bankside Gallery, Black Swan Arts Centre, New Ashgate Gallery, Art fairs including the AAF, Brighton Art Fair, and exhibitions in the Netherlands.
Residencies have been at the Ochre Printmaking Studio in Guildford, Surrey U.K. 2016 and won the John Purcell Prize 2018 at Ochre Printmaking Studio exhibition. As an artist she has been a member of several artists cooperatives and chaired the Fountain Gallery Artists Cooperative, East Molesey (2008-09). Schram has also been a teacher of art for a number of organisations in the UK and Netherlands as well as private classes and workshops.
Her work is in several private collections in the UK, Netherlands, France, USA, Morocco, Germany, Portugal, Switzerland and Spain.
She has lived and worked abroad for most of her lifetime. Having recently returned to her home country, she continuous her art practice with a renewed focus on sculpture, the discipline that has always attracted her but with a language that always felt the hardest to learn.
She is currently based in Breda, the Netherlands and Caldes de Malavella, Spain.
