Marie Gardiner, sculptor, sketcher and painter, was born in 1918, daughter of William Herbert Gardiner and Edna Marie (née Grant).
During the early 1940s she studied for a diploma at Technical College. Gardiner exhibited in Sydney with the Under 30 Group in the 1940s and the Contemporary Group in the 1950s.
Marie Gardiner had moved from Sydney to Tilba Tilba on the New South Wales south coast by the early 1960s. After Gardiner’s death in 1966, her mother donated of her two drawings to the Art Gallery of New South Wales and sculptor Robert Klippel donated a number of abstract sketches and a pair of earrings he had created for Gardiner, to the same Gallery, in her memory.
