BioMarlene has been in drawing and painting all her life. One of her greatest thrills comes from creating something new and seeing it come to life. In the early 80’s she took her first painting classes and has been painting and teaching ever since. Marlene has designed well over 200 packets.
In addition to her own line of pattern packets, she has published many magazine articles and has authored and co-authored numerous decorative painting books. Marlene is a Royal Brush Consulting Artist and DecoArt Helping Hand Artist. She is a member of the National Society of Decorative Painters and became a Certified Decorative Artist in May 2004.
Her favorite painting medium is acrylics. Her style is unique in that she combines layers of floated color, dry brushing and stippling to create a realistic affect. Her favorite subject matter has always been flowers, but has included many birds, fish and whimsical seasonal designs.
Marlene enjoys sharing her pattern packets and designs so that you may create beautiful projects and improve your painting skills.
