Artist Bio
Marabeth Quin
Marabeth Quin moved to Nashville, Tennessee from her home state of Arkansas in 1987 and immediately embarked on a career as a studio musician. For the past 20 years she has worked with some of the most talented musicians in the behind-the-scenes Nashville studio world and sung on projects ranging from movie soundtracks and recordings, to live tours for artists as diverse as Vince Gill, Joan Baez, George Jones, LeeAnn Womack and many others.
Eight years ago, in need of a creative opening that had nothing to do with earning a living, she reintroduced herself to her misplaced childhood loves of painting and writing and began once again exploring the images and ideas that have no expectations or distinct purpose attached to them. As a result, her art has become a space of great autonomy and clarity, as well as pleasure, in her life.
“I see painting as one way in which I can contribute to the world; first, by helping myself to realize the full extent to which we are all linked, to the earth and to one another, and hopefully then to further someone else in their own unfolding realization of their essential place in the world.”
Marabeth works from her home studio in Nashville.
