"Echidna-Just Ambling Along"
Charcoal

Marlene was born in rural Victoria and has enjoyed a love of drawing since early childhood. In 1982 Marlene relocated to Central Queensland and since then has lived interstate and overseas but has returned to reside permanently in Rockhampton. Having a rural background her work reflects her love for our country and she has a passion to depict the attitude of whatever animal she chooses to paint. She now specialises in wildlife, animal portraits and landscapes.

Marlene has formal training with a Diploma in Complete Commercial Art & Graphic Design. She has also participated in many and varied Art Workshops to expand her knowledge and skills. Over the years Marlene has dabbled in various mediums but her most favoured medium is pastel as they bridge a gap between drawing and painting.

In recent years Marlene has won various awards and exhibited solely and in group exhibitions. Currently Marlene produces drawings & paintings for commissions, exhibitions and competitions; along with teaching drawing & pastels and working part time at Mi Art Gallery in Rockhampton. All artwork is produced using the best artist quality products and is framed professionally to an archival standard by a Guild Qualified Master Framer.
