Marla's Studio
TAKE A PEEK INSIDE
As a professional artist and art instructor for over 30 years, I can honestly say art is my whole life. I spend most of my time in my studio – creating lessons and painting in pastels oils and acrylics. I love it all. The best part of my studio is walking in every day and seeing the rainbow of pastels in my palette. They still take my breath away.
This video offers a bit of a view into my studio and my working process behind the scenes. It is in this space that you will find me hard at work every day, conjuring new courses for my students and new paintings at the easel. With this new website I have the expressed intention of creating the best possible art lessons I can, as well as deepening my commitment to the craft. So get comfortable and take a look around at my palette of educational offerings.
