Mediums Used
Marie Ackers was born in France, her work is initially inspired and influenced by the work of the 19th century “French Animaliers”, such as Jules Pierre Mene and Antoine Louis Barye. Recently Marie`s inspiration is changing toward more modern sculpture such as inspired by Marino Marini, Henry Moore and Lynn Chadwick… Marie Ackers work is not about scientific measurements but it is about capturing the spirit and the essence of the subject. It is about capturing life. She works on private commissions but also continues developing a portfolio of limited, numbered and signed edition in bronze with a few works also available (in a very limited number) in cold cast bronze.

Born in France, Marie Ackers`s work is inspired and influenced by the work of the 19th century "French Animaliers", such as Jules Pierre Mene and Antoine Louis Barye.
An accomplished rider herself, Marie Ackers is a show-jumper, member of the BSJA and very often competing around the south of England. Marie`s horse is a thoroughbred himself, brought back from France.
Marie Acker`s work is not about scientific measurements but it is about capturing the spirit and the essence of the horse. Marie Ackers loves the graceful and powerful lines of the thoroughbred horse, they are built for speed and spirited and are just begging to be translated in sculpture.
