Marshall Ould is a self taught artist who has developed his own style in both oil and watercolour through a lifelong love of painting. With encouragement from fellow artist Geoff Birks he had his first exhibition in his Leeds Studio in 1990. He gave up his job in the printing industry where he had been involved in reproducing fine art work to become a full time artist in 1998.

He has painted in many different locations at home and abroad with light and atmosphere always being a source of inspiration. He enjoys travelling and much of his work features subjects produced on painting holidays in the Far East. However, he nows lives and works at Runswick Bay and most of his painting is inspired by the landscape and coast surrounding his chosen home.

Exhibitions include:
Guild of Waterways Artists; Yorkshire Watercolour Society; Mall Galleries, London; Sunday Times/Singer & Friedlander Watercolour Competition and numerous collections worldwide.

Marshall has work exhibited at The Staithes Gallery and is a member of The Fylingdales Group of Artists.
