Wildlife Artivist

Marianne Birkby

Marianne is an English wildlife artivist inspired by the stunning diversity of Mother Earth. Actively speaking up for wildlife - Marianne founded Radiation Free Lakeland in 2008 following Cumbria County Council's "expression of interest" in a high level nuclear waste dump and new build.

Following a request from Marianne, in January, Marta Adams –the Chief Deputy Attorney General at the Nevada Attorney General’s Office spoke on Radio Cumbria urging Cumbria County Council not to rely on information from Government and the nuclear industry but to take independent advice on the implications of a nuclear dump in the Lake District.

A vigorous 20 year campaign by Nevada state authorities has stopped the proposed nuclear waste dump at Yucca Mountain. Marianne said “this contrasts starkly with our Cumbrian Council Leaders who have willingly offered the Lake District up as a nuclear sacrifice zone despite geological ‘disposal’ being the worst possible option for looking after nuclear waste”

In Marianne's artworks various media are used to make marks from the wild spontaneity of charcoal to the almost obsessive detail of watercolour.
