MARLENE HOWELL (nee SEKI)
Marlene was born in Toronto and moved to Vancouver Island in 1996. Since then she has lived in and exhibited her artwork 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 medium choices such as graphite, charcoal/watercolour, acrylic and Kroma Crackle.
Marlene has organised and exhibited in three Art Shows held at the Royal Colwood Golf Club in support of Soroptimist International of Greater Victoria in the spring of 2017and 2018 and a Fall Art Show in October 2019.
From January 12th to March 31st, 2019, Marlene was at the Maritime Museum of BC, solo artist for "The Lost Fleet" Exhibition.
