Marleen Olive is a new member of
Gallery 10 and will be showing her work during July at the Gallery, 15 Eureka
Street, Sutter Creek. On July 7 there
will be a reception in Marleen’s honor, 2-5 P.M.
Marleen moved to the foothills in
1999, having had fond memories of summers spent here as a child, camping and
visiting her relatives, the Shaads.
Marleen has been actively involved in art throughout her life. She received an AA degree in art and has taken
numerous workshops to learn new skills.
Marleen has been intrigued by
watercolor ever since she saw a painting 28 years ago that was so stunning she
wanted to learn how to achieve such a result.
She took a workshop with Maxine Masterfield that introduced her to
watercolor inks. Maxine’s workshops
showed Marleen exciting new methods of painting, and this introduction to
abstract design was life changing for Marleen.
Continuing on her abstract adventure to this day, Marleen has studied
with other artists using different water mediums, and she applies all she has
learned in her many and varied styles of painting.
Marleen has won many awards for her
paintings in both California and Oregon.
She has been a workshop instructor for children and adults in Crescent
City, CA, and Brookings, OR. She
currently gives watercolor classes at the Upcountry Community Center in Pine
Grove.
Be sure to stop by Gallery 10 and
see Marleen’s wonderful collection of paintings during the reception on July 7,
meet Marleen and enjoy refreshments. Her
work will be hanging the month of July.
