Born in Johannesburg, 1972 Marinda matriculated at the Pretoria Pro Arte School of Art after witch
she studied Fine Art at the Pretoria Technicon under lecturers like Dianne Victor.
After studying, the Pre-Raphaelite Gallery was opened where she started honing her own unique style as a fine artist.
Commissions for both original & commercial paintings for private clients, local and abroad followed and created
a great variety in painting styles and content, for eg Hotels and Casinos like Emperors Palace and Monte Casino,
Johannesburg. In collaboration with fellow artists, this period included Set Painting for PACT and The Civic Theatre
for pantomime productions such as Annie & Aladdin.
Since 2004 Marinda has been painting from her own Studio & Gallery in the Little Karoo town of Calitzdorp.
Here she indulges her passion for landscapes & portraiture.
The 'Glamour Girls' were at first created as a commission for the coffee shop, Coffee @ Die Handelshuis
next to her Studio & Gallery in Calitzdorp and grew into a 'Pin-up' series with the inspiration of Trent Read.
"These beguiling and delicious creations are quite irresistible and are saved from the least hint of whimsy by their sheer
size and Combrinck's painterly skill linked to her sardonic and affectionate postmodern aesthetic" Trent Read
Marinda is currently working on her next exhibition subject: 'Life Form-Natural Litter, Road Kil' for Knysna
Fine Arts in 2012 after completing a course in Taxidermy in Nelspruit, Mpumalanga.
Also invited for group exhibition at Casa Labia, opening 6 December 2011,
