| About Me |
|
Marlene Gremillion is a sensitive person who enjoys life and her surroundings. She examines the beauty of nature especially in bright sunlight looking for the transparency in flowers and the shadows cast by objects onto another. Texture plays a major role in her paintings along with color that expresses a mood and feeling seen in the subjects she puts to paper or canvas.
Traveling with her husband throughout the United States, much of which has been in the out doors, Marlene loves mountains, streams and flowers which are visible in her realistic and abstract paintings and collages. Marlene is a graduate of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and is a registered nurse. Being a very sensitive and observant person when caring for others has carried over into her artistic endeavors. Marlene is active in the arts in her community and has also studied art extensively, polishing her watercolor techniques as a major subject. She has taken workshops from nationally renowned artists, who she feels has broadened her abilities to really see minute details that can express an atmosphere in a particular piece.
Marlene explores visually varied subjects along with photographing and just sitting and taking in the ambiance of God's creation. She has displayed her expressive photographs and also used them as tools in her paintings and collages. Unable to put to words why she must create, except to say she feels a desire to keep on trying something new. "It's like I'm a child with a new toy, each time I pick up a paint brush full of paint. I've just got to have fun!"
Marlene is a signature member of Mid-Southern Watercolorists (Arkansas) and Louisiana Watercolor Society. She is a charter member of the Ouachita River Art Guild in West Monroe, Louisiana and member of Brush Strokes in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas. The Arkansas Studies Institute in Little Rock, Arkansas, Backwoods Gallery in El Dorado, Arkansas, Ouachita River Art Gallery, West Monroe, Louisiana and Artist Workshop Gallery in Hot Springs, Arkansas represent her. Marlene and her husband have built a home in the mountains of Hot Springs Village, Arkansas and have retired, devoting full time to the outdoors and the creating of art and grandchildren!
