Marianne Hall, a visual artist based in Albuquerque, NM, draws inspiration from a diverse range of experiences. Born and raised in the midst of Detroit's auto industry, Hall earned a BFA in Fibers with honors from Wayne State University.
While her artistic exploration once took her to various corners of the world, including Japan, Korea, Australia, Europe and North America, Hall's recent works focus on a more introspective narrative, intertwining personal heritage with creative expression. This exploration serves as a poignant journey and becomes a sanctuary for contemplation and healing, particularly following the loss of her long-time partner to brain cancer.
With a masterful balance of craftsmanship and introspective reflection, Hall’s art offers a deeply moving exploration of universal themes like heritage, grief, and spirituality. Each piece is a unique narrative, telling a story of loss, connection, and beauty. Her work celebrates the elegance that emerges from imperfection, inviting us all to recognize the invisible threads that bind us together through our shared emotions, transcending time, space, and individual experience.
She has lived and worked in studios in Detroit, MI, Toronto, ON, and currently at the Harwood Art Center in Albuquerque, NM. Her work is part of private collections around the world. In March of 2025, her work will be at the Turner Carroll Gallery in Santa Fe in a show titled: The New City of Ladies, sponsored by the New Mexico Women in the Arts chapter of the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
