I started painting, exclusively with oil paints, about ten years ago. The subjects of my paintings are primarily places I have visited, including this painting of the Grand Canyon. I moved to the Grand Rapids area of Michigan eight years ago, having lived most of my life in the Chicago area. I love the artistic climate of Grand Rapids, the many opportunities for art instruction, and especially the Art Prize event.
These are Marian's official ArtPrize entries from this year and past years.
