Marilyn a Fine Art Honours
graduate of the Ontario College of Art; recipient of the Mrs. W.O. Forsyth
Scholarship for Woman Painter is a multi media visual artist.
The forest, rocks and water in
the northern landscape are influential towards the evolution, exploration
and development in her work. Her intention and goal in the making of art
is to observe and interpret her subject in the various mediums with
simplified designs and forms. Her ideas, observations and life experiences
are expressed through her work by carving wood sculptures; making cement
sculptures, photography in black and white and in the new digital medium
and acrylic paintings. The subject’s emotion and essence is achieved
through colour, shape, form and shadow.
Formal carved totems from a few
inches to 18 feet are based on personal and universal symbols. Organic
stylized sculptures are based on braids, knots, flowers particularly the
favoured Calla Lily and birds. The designs are also incorporated in
earrings, walking canes and spoons. Her multi media exhibition
"Totems" was held in January, 1993, at the Chapel Gallery in
Bracebridge and during February, 1994, at The Latcham Gallery in
Stouffville. The exhibition included carved totems, painted acrylic
banners, wall paintings and painted floor cloths.
Marilyn’s work is in private
collections and some of her pieces have been included in numerous juried
and invited exhibitions, as well as the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition and
Muskoka Arts & Crafts' Annual Summer Show.
She has demonstrated carving,
taught workshops, invited juror of art, a member and volunteer of various
art organizations.
Marilyn participates in the
annual Seguin Regional Art Tour. It is held on the first weekend of August
Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 5pm in her Otter Lake Gallery located

In the summer she holds two day
decorative cement garden sculptures workshop. Contact her for dates and
