Marina Dieul was born in France. She showed great interest in painting and drawing from an early age, and her family encouraged her vocation. In early 2000, she moved to Montreal, Canada, where she now lives. She was mostly self-taught until 2008, when she studied with Tim Stotz and Michelle Tully at Studio Escalier, former students of Ted Seth Jacobs. Her work has received numerous awards and honors, including the Kingston Prize, Salon International, the Artist Magazine, and has been extensively profiled in International Artist Magazine, among others. "Stroke of Genius 2" (published by North Light Books) also features her work.
Most recently she won the second place in the Portrait Society of Canada's annual competition, the William Bouguereau Best of Show Award, and first place in the drawing category at the Art Renewal Center Salon. She is a member of the Portrait Society of Canada, the Portrait Society of America, and the International Guild of Realism.
