Discover My Artistic Journey
I’m Raune-lea Marshall, an acrylic painter inspired by the quiet beauty of cottage country. After retiring in 2017, I finally had the time to return to what had always been calling me—art.
Creativity is in my DNA. My father, Neil Blackwell, was a wildlife artist and my mother a designer and dressmaker, so I grew up surrounded by color, texture, and imagination. My love for nature began early, during long days spent exploring the woods and lakes around our family cottage. Those experiences continue to shape my work today.
I paint to capture the feeling of stillness, wonder, and connection that comes from being in nature—whether it’s the glint of sunlight on water, a quiet shoreline, or the atmosphere of a northern sky. Every canvas is a reflection of my deep appreciation for the land and its quiet stories.
I hope my paintings bring a bit of that peace and natural beauty into your world.

Savour the passion of water on your favourite watercraft
The joy of watercraft lies in the freedom and adventure they bring-gliding across open water, feeling the spray of the waves, and hearing the hum of the engine or the quiet rhythm of a paddle. Whether it's the thrill of speed, the serenity of hidden shores, time spent on the water offers both excitement and peace.
