The artist

Marie Attfield is a multidisciplinary creative working across poetry, photography, and videography.

Through attentive observation of nature and everyday life, her work explores themes of mindfulness, the inner world of human experience, and the movements of the natural world.

Much of her work lingers with the beauty of slow and simple moments ~ animals resting or playing, flowers blooming, sunsets, traditional architecture adorned with offerings, Himalayan mountain views, and nourishing food.

She creates from a place of curiosity, focus, and deep dedication, offering thoughtful reflections on what it means to navigate the modern world with a sensitive mindset.

Her work aims to give language and validation to deep sensitivity, honoring the natural wisdom of human emotions, and promoting absolute integrity and empathy within both the creative and mental health communities.

This work is an ongoing practice of hers, a way of staying in relationship with life as it unfolds. ❤︎

The person

Marie is an Australian-based university psychology student and poet. Her life is built around creative expression, social impact and holding space for human and animal welfare.

Through poetry, photography, and gentle storytelling, she explores sensitivity, mindfulness, and the nuanced depth of the human experience. Her work lingers with the beauty of slow, quiet moments ~ traditional architecture adorned with offerings, mountain views, animals at rest, and the warmth of a shared meal.

Nepal is a place of deep personal and creative connection for her. It is where she does most of her artistic work, inspired by the organic peace and soulful hospitality of Nepalese people and guesthouses.

Marie is passionate about caring for stray dogs in Nepal. Recognising the overpopulation of stray dogs, Marie decided after her first trip that she wanted to devote herself to supporting animal welfare initiatives on a regular basis.

Marie’s global travel has sparked an interest in integrating mindfulness practices with scientifically grounded psychological traditions. As a strictly neurodiversity-affirming person, she understands firsthand the profound importance of sensory harmony, authenticity, and gentle, trauma-informed care. And as a witness to the harms of trendy, ungrounded modern spiritual practices, she is committed to providing an ethical, safe alternative in her future professional work.
