Based in Queensland since 2003, Marie Craven spent her early years on a cattle station in outback NSW before her family relocated to Melbourne in the late 1960s. She was a theater actor in her teens and early twenties, becoming involved in filmmaking in the mid-1980s. She played a significant role in the development of the Melbourne Super 8 Film Group and MIMA (now Experimenta Media Arts).
She has also been a freelance film reviewer and a teacher of filmmaking at community centers, TAFEs (Technical and Further Education colleges), and universities. During the early 1990s, she transitioned from experimental to narrative filmmaking, and her films over the next decade and into the 2000s found success on the international film festival circuit, garnering many awards and screening at over 100 events.
From 2007 to 2015, she provided "cybervocals" for electronic music producers around the world under the artist name 'Pixieguts'. Since 2014, she has been involved in creating video poetry from archival and Creative Commons media, again working in collaboration with various artists in cyberspace. Over the past three years, she has made 50 short videos in this net-collaborative way.
