Marilyn resides in British Columbia on beautiful Vancouver Island. Her first experiences in life were as an art and music teacher. She later became a graphic artist in the greeting and decorating industry where her commissioned work is available in North America, Europe and Asia.

Working from her photographs, Marilyn's detailed work as a graphic artist has enhanced her meticulously explicit watercolours. The paintings reflect her passion for the environment while showing the viewer a microscopic intimacy with natural form. Wildlife, florals and landscapes round out the visual talent of the artist.

With the addition of Silk Painting, Marilyn also creates wearable art with the same meticulous detail as her paintings. Using computer graphic skills the artist has created her own unique line of Art Cards and Note Paper.

Traveling and photographing the coasts of British Columbia, Scotland, Ireland and Japan have brought new insight to the artist's work.
