Artist Statement

   Marilyn Patton

Artistic inspirations have enriched my life at all stages. Since retiring from a career in social work I have been gifted with time to paint along with wonderful tutors and wonderful fellow painters. I have many, varied interests and love painting landscapes, flowers, portraits, animals, and fruity still life.
Most recently, I have been painting big beautiful Tasmanian landscapes, inspired by the painters of Scandinavia and Russia, and painting more intimate views of nature highlighting the shapes, the colours, and the patterns of the flowers, leaves, waters, and the forest pathways.
