Marie Mansfield's work centres around people and places in an unexpected dance. Her paintings are often devoid of people, yet alive with traces of their presence – a spectral energy that conjures melancholy, nostalgia and bemusement. 

In 'Breakfast', two eggs rest in a dish atop a napkin on an otherwise empty table. Through this pared-back composition, Mansfield evokes the quiet promise of the morning meal—one egg slightly cracked. Subtly infused with a sense of mystery, the work invites gentle, reflective contemplation.

Mansfield is an esteemed contemporary artist. In 2021 she won the Portia Geach portrait prize for women and in 2020 completed a residency at Bundanon. She is also a Doug Moran, Archibald and Mosman Prize finalist. For collectors of contemporary art, still lives and female artists, Mansfield is an elegant find.
