As an active member of the Federation of Canadian Artist’s in Kelowna, Marilynn is surrounded by a wonderful and inspiring group of artist’s and friend’s. Art has always been a part of Marilynn’s life. She started drawing as a child moving into oil painting and then on to acrylics. Her earliest subjects were still lifes and people. Over the year’s, Marilynn has developed a notable style with her large and textured fruit painting’s. Her newest interest is discovering the wonderful world of painting street scenes and landscapes. Marilynn’s background as an Interior Decorator has given her a great love and sense of color.
