Founder’s Review
Marianne Thatcher - Layers of Light: Capturing the Soul of the Lowcountry

At Explore Art, we believe art is more than an image on canvas—it is a way of remem-bering, reflecting, and connecting to the places and people that shape us. We feature this artist embody this truth as beautifully as Marianne Thatcher, the featured artist of our September 2025 issue of Explore Art Rural America Magazine.

Marianne’s journey began in the quiet solitude of rural Massachusetts, where the fields, streams, and woods became her first studio. That early intimacy with the natural world has never left her. Even today, living and painting in Beaufort, South Carolina, her work is deeply rooted in the rhythms of the land—the ebb and flow of marsh tides, the reflec-tive waters, and the expansive skies that invite stillness and contemplation.

Her paintings are layered with memory, much like the landscapes themselves. In her piece Gone to Seed, what first appears as a weathered roadside relic becomes some-thing far more personal—a green echo of her father’s truck, a reminder of time, place, and presence. Marianne does not simply capture a scene; she preserves its soul, stitch-ing memory into every brushstroke.

What makes her art so compelling is this delicate balance of impressionistic realism and emotional resonance. Her canvases invite us to pause, breathe, and discover the quiet beauty in what surrounds us—whether it’s a South Carolina marsh at dawn, the crisp light of a New England shoreline, or a forgotten relic reborn in paint.

This issue is a celebration not only of Marianne’s extraordinary talent but also of what Explore Art Rural America stands for: honoring the voices of artists who carry with them the essence of place, memory, and cultural identity. Marianne’s work reminds us that art is not separate from life—it is how we make sense of it.

We are proud to share her story and her art with you. May it inspire you, as it has in-spired us, to see the world with renewed wonder and to honor the landscapes—both in-ner and outer—that shape who we are.
