Marie has
always loved art and after art college pursued a career in textiles setting up
her company
“Hillbillies” printing her own fabrics and making garments. Fast forward 20 years and after
working in jobs unrelated to art, she returned to creativity opening a shop in Leamington
Spa painting furniture and becoming an Annie Sloan stockist. When the pandemic
came and lockdown enforced closure of shops she decided to embrace digital art as a medium.

has created a line of beautiful cards and framed pictures of Warwick which are extremely
popular. Glass framed original print of Thomas Oken House with Warwick Castle Peacocks by Hillbillies Unique Design. Size 25 1/2cm square.
