Hi, I'm Marlene.
You’ve seen the prints everyone else has. They’re neat, perfect and a little lifeless. They fill a space, but they don’t say anything about the person who lives there.
If you’ve always been drawn to the darker, wilder, more imperfect side of things, you’re in the right place. I photograph wildlife across Africa and beyond, and I’m fascinated by the morbid corners of museums and the oddities closer to home. I don’t overwork any of it. What’s there is what you get, flaws and all, because that’s where the character lives.
A piece of art has its first life with the artist. Every life after that belongs to the people it sits with. Choose one that feels like yours, and let it become something new.
I’ve painted for as long as I can remember.
As a child it was simply something I did. Later, it became something I needed.
I came back to it looking for a way to relax, and it gave me much more than that. Painting is where I learn to slow down. Oils won’t be rushed. They ask you to wait, to look again and to sit with something until it’s ready. I’m still learning that lesson, one canvas at a time.
Each piece here was made in those slow, quiet hours. I hope a little of that calm travels with it into your home.
Most homes are filled with things that are perfectly fine and completely forgettable: mass-produced prints chosen because they matched the sofa. They fill a space, but they don’t say anything about the people who live there.
Art is different. A piece you love changes a room. It holds a memory or a place, or a feeling you didn’t have words for. You’ll pass it a hundred times a day, and every so often it’ll stop you.
That’s the second life of a photograph or painting, and it begins the moment it comes home with you. Frame it, hang it and let it become part of your story.
