Personal

About Me: Marianne Pasmans attended the Academy of Fine Arts, Maastricht in the Netherlands. While finishing her first year she was giving an opportunity to work for the National State Archive as an Assistant in the Restoration department. Her time with the National State Archive provided her with access to history hands on; restoring & repairing amongst others books, seals, charts dating back to 1515. After 2 years of extensive training at the National State Archive she decided to return to the Academy. She did so while giving training courses in manual bookbinding at the Maastricht Graphic Art centre till 1987. Marianne returned to the Academy and obtained her Bachelor Degree in Product Design, major in Textiles & Fashion. She went on to be an Associate Designer for O’Neill sportswear and her fabric designs gained interest in the respective industry. With 2 more designers Marianne represented the Netherlands at the Igedo CPD fashion fair, Düsseldorf and has opened amongst others 5 shops alone in Amsterdam for Scapa of Scotland Ladies & Gents fashion in an interior design assignment. She was also responsible for the purchase of collections for 7 Scapa shops. In partnership she continued to set up a franchise fashion brand named Country Style for both ladies & gents. For this new venture she was the overall designer from developing brand image to overseeing production & development of the franchise’s shop design & collection. During her 3 final years in the Netherlands, she freelanced for Artifort, a Dutch furniture brand world famous for its designs by Pierre Paulin as well as being involved in corporate art exhibitions in Utrecht. In august 1994, she moved to Bahrain. After working in a full time office position for 13 years she started her own company Pasmans Design in 2006 handling any projects relating to Art & Design. Marianne has had several exhibitions since and several large bespoke paintings adorn the walls of prestigious venues in Bahrain. She has over the years also designed a range of furniture produced in Bahrain and conducts art courses for art enthusiasts.
