"
Marlene  was born in Toronto and moved  to Vancouver Island in 1996. Since then she has lived in Khartoum, Sudan, New York City, and Phnom Penh, Cambodia before settling in Victoria, BC.

 Her artistic development is a result of the influential instructors at the Art Student League of New York, and artists in British Columbia.  Visual experiences are her inspiration, so she generally works from photographs, using various techniques, and experimenting with different, or a combination of medium choices such as graphite, charcoal/watercolour, acrylic or mixed medium.

 Winning the 2006/2007 banner competition for the City of Victoria created a stir with the Canadian Embassy in Cambodia where Marlene was living at the time.  The Banners, as well as her Monk Series were displayed for the Canada Day Reception.  Her Monk Series were also exhibited at the Raffles Le Royale Hotel, Phnom Penh.

Marlene is an Active Member of the Federation of Canadian Artists.  She has exhibited at the Morris Gallery, McPherson Theatre, Cedar Hill Recreation Centre, and The Small Works Exhibition at The Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, and has participated in ARTISHOW  as an Artist on Residence at Chateau Victoria, Hotel Grand Pacific, and Coast Victoria Harbourside Hotel and Marina.
