Watercolour Scenery Rockies Remarque Prints
Summary
Marilyn Kinsella (AFCA) paints out of her studio in Canmore, Alberta. Working primarily in watercolour, she also paints in acrylics, oils and makes silk-screen prints.
Surrounded by the spectacular Rocky Mountains, Marilyn strives to capture their beauty and magnificence in her own unique style. The ever-changing mountain light and seasons challenge her ability and imagination. The variety of perspectives that mountains present increasingly intrigues her. Painting the views from the valley floor looking up at the dominant peaks; or a mid-point view from an elevated ridge or alpine meadow; or a birds-eye view which more closely details the mountain geology and stratigraphy are her focus.
Born and raised in Montreal, Quebec, Marilyn was inspired by her artist mother to pursue a similar career. Artistic studies led her to her first career in commercial art. In the busy child rearing years she painted mainly in oils.
Moving west to Alberta in 1979, Marilyn fell in love with the mountains and became dedicated to capturing their beauty in watercolours. Now an established mountain artist, her wide selection of art prints and originals have become widely popular with visitors as well as local Albertans.
In 1984, Marilyn was granted A.F.C.A. status (a recognition of excellence) by the Federation of Canadian Artists.
Marilyns artwork is displayed in numerous corporate and private collections around the world.
