Marie Hackert
Marie Hackert is a Chicago based artist who creates from her home studio in the Ravenswood neighborhood. Her work spans various mediums, including oil, acrylic, gouache, graphite, ink, and oil pastel, allowing her to explore a rich diversity of textures and techniques. Her work is inspired by the principles of the Impressionist movement where light, color, and atmosphere take precedence over precise forms and rigid lines. Using loose brushstrokes and vibrant palettes, she seeks to evoke a sense of movement and spontaneity in her pieces. She often chooses subjects that are part of everyday life, drawing attention to the beauty in the mundane.
