The Artist

Marion

I have been drawing and painting for many years, and especially like to use pastels, acrylics and oils.

Having gained a Certificate in Education and majored in Art at The Froebel Institute of Education in England, and a Bachelor of Education Honours Degree, I went on to teach Art and general subjects in elementary and middle schools in England for many years.

I have travelled widely and lived in different countries around the world; I studied Chinese painting whilst living in China and Singapore.

Since living in the US, I have studied pastel painting, particularly portraiture, with Jeanne Smith, and figure painting with Rhoda Yanow at the duCret School of Art. I have also studied portraiture with Enrique Flores-Galbis at The Visual Arts Center of New Jersey and taken a portrait workshop with Alain Picard in Connecticut. I have studied landscape painting with Julie Friedman in her studio in Morristown, New Jersey, as well as taken workshops on "Abstracting the Landscape", "Home made Surfaces", "Infusing Color and Emotion into a Painting", "En Pleine Aire Painting", and "Landscape Rhythm and Harmony" with Julie Friedman. I also took a workshop on "Painting Skies and Clouds" with Will Klemm.

My interests also include writing children's story books.
