Since graduating from California State University, Sacramento in studio art in 2009, I began to pursue art seriously. I mainly paint in oils - landscapes and still life but my passion is portraits. I'm furthering my painting skills with workshops and classes from Terry Miura, a well known northern California painter, My drawing skills were strengthen through Jeff Watts Online Program and Sadie Valeri Online Atelier program.

Click here at my blog updated paintings and process and upcoming events. I do accept pet commissions either in oils or watercolor in my Etsy shop at PaintingsbyMarlene. (Shipping is free).

My other love is urbansketching. My sketches are posted on my Flickr page. Some of those sketches can be bought as prints at my Society6 store.

Check out my book, Sketching Around Davis, on Blurb. It's a collection of my sketches done from 2013 through 2019 around Davis, California where I live.

Let me know if you have any questions.
