She graduated from Volgograd State University (Architecture & Construction) in 1986 and developed illustration skills relating to those disciplines. She has had no formal training as an artist but has closely observed and admired the work of Aivazovsky, Savrasov and Shishkin. Other strong influences are Turner, Constable and Monet

Inspiration
Marina takes her inspiration from landscape and especially The New Forest, Hampshire UK. She often uses her camera to record sudden changes of light and atmosphere which may last only a few seconds. Her landscape oil paintings show experiments in the use of light often with a deliberately limited colour palette as the theme.
