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.
