Art by Marlene

I was born in South Africa and emigrated to the Netherlands in 20o2 after marrying my DUTCH  husband. We have  2 lovely teenagers, Charlize and Fabian.  Together we live in a small coastal town in the northern part of The Netherlands.

I am a mixed media Artist, Art Journaler and Product Designer.

I am a signature  designer for different craft companies : Studio Light, The Crafters Workshop, Artfoamies and Grafixarts. I just love making designs that people can use in their art!

Art journaling is something I do  daily and in my experience, it brightens up the darkest  day.  I try to work in several art styles, not limiting myself to man set borders. I believe that it is part of my creative freedom to explore all styles that I like and that it broadens not only my view of art, but the all over experience too. 

My artistic trademark is my use of bright & happy colours , my Whimsical style and the decorative   details I use.  My work is full of layers, movement, vibrant colors and lots of contrast!
