Marielle started with watercolours but now paints mostly in acrylic and the occasional oils. She finds her painting inspiration in nature, whether it’s landscapes, flowers or just something that she finds socially meaningful. Figure and portrait drawing are also challenging exercises that she takes on. As a member of the New Horizons Sr. Art Group, Marielle enjoys meeting and painting with fellow artists. What people may not know is how much there is to learn to develop the skills required to express an idea into a finished piece.
