Bio
MARLENE’S STORYLINE
As a visual artist, Marlene relies on her intuition to create books, journals and boxes. A fascination with books and the written word evolved over a lifetime of observation. A deep passion for contemporary books and related arts developed during her 30 years of discovering the arts through calligraphy, mixed medium, book and box making.
Marlene’s artworks develop through the use of palimpsests, to expose inner depth through her sensitive use of design, colour and texture.
Her studio time is divided between discovering her own creations, facilitating open studios and engaging in commissioned work. Inspiration comes through encouraging others in their creative journey as developing artists. Her philosophy is that the creativity that exists in all of us needs to be nurtured and fed to energize every aspect of our daily life.
She continues her own journey of discovery under many gifted master artists. Marlene has taught and exhibited work throughout Canada and the US and her commissions are held internationally.
Marlene was Folk Artist in Residence 2011 at the Joseph Schneider Haus in Kitchener ON. She creates and encourages others from her studio in Stratford ON.
