Marie Jeschke (b. 1982, Rostock) is an artist living and working in Berlin and Greifswald. She studied Fine Arts at the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK) and became a Master Student of Prof. Ursula Neugebauer in 2014. Working primarily through painting, her practice is informed by artistic research and long-term engagement with aquatic environments.
Working from painting as a primary medium, Jeschke develops an expanded painting practice that encompasses installation, video and text. Through sustained engagement with lakes, rivers, and coastal landscapes, she investigates painting not only as image, but as a form of action. Central to this work is the understanding of water as the primordial environment of painting and as a metaphor for painting itself, opening the image to agencies that exceed human intention.
Alongside her studio practice, Jeschke develops collaborative and participatory projects that explore alternative modes of authorship, collective experience, and inclusive forms of artistic production. She is Director of ART CRU Berlin, a non-profit gallery and studio programme for artists with learning disabilities, and teaches at the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK), where she develops collaborative and tandem-teaching models that bring together artistic research, inclusive practice, and diverse forms of knowledge.

Marie Jeschke is the initiator and partner of the following projects:
With this shared fascination for glass, Jeschkelanger, founded by Anja Langer and Marie Jeschke in 2016, create functional artworks in which forgotten materials are brought into focus. In 2018, they came across tons of glass production leftovers in the glass industry and were immediately enchanted by the idea of giving these glass remnants a new life. Using these glass pieces and their own cast stone formulations, Jeschkelanger has developed their own material composite: BASIS RHO.
