Her output has seen projects that span across corporate literature, publishing, editorial, packaging, advertising, web, brand development; craft and interior design. Marion’s work with major design and advertising agencies includes commercial clients Royal Mail Stamps, Carluccios and the Imperial War Museum; resulting in gold and silver awards at the Art Director’s ClubNew York and four Silver D&AD pencils. Her ‘Let’s Make Some Great Art’ series of art activity books for Laurence King Publishing, have won numerous awards and have been translated into twenty-two languages. She has also written and illustrated three picture books called "Bob the Artist" about a Blackbird who finds his true self through the power of art. Born in Scotland, Marion now lives and works in North London. She is a member of the Alliance Graphique Internationale and a Royal Designer for Industry.

      RDInsights: Marion Deuchars
      This is an RDInsights Archive recording from 2021 with the writer and illustrator Marion Deuchars RDI, who believes that everyone would benefit from living a creative life. In the interview, Marion talks about her childhood, her work, and what it was like to live and work under lockdown. Her creative activity books have sold worldwide, inspiring people to discover their own inner creative potential. Mike Dempsey RDI recently caught up with Marion again to see what she’s been up to since that original 2021 interview, and you can hear their new conversation immediately after the archive recording.
