Marleen Farley is our featured artist for September 2012.

Maureen Farley is inspired by the grace and beauty of animals and the natural world. She has enjoyed a lifelong love of painting and drawing which lead to a B. A. degree from the University of Nevada in psychology and fine art. Her artistic achievements include receiving the Douglas County Historical Association Photography award, the Carson Valley Library Award, as well as many awards from the Nevada Artist Association and Western Nevada College.

Her favorite media are colored pencil, digital photography, and transparent acrylic collage. She is known for painting original harmonious images of birds and animals. 
"At this time I am exploring mixed media and collage to produce free flowing abstract assemblages." The assemblages appear to have a fluid quality as they represent the interaction between mankind and our natural environment. She arranges interesting found objects such as colorful rocks or leaves with man made materials including transparent glass and beads. 

The creations are designed to be felt as well as seen due to the depth of the textural qualities. After she fuses the elements aesthetically they are permanently sealed with a non yellowing transparent acrylic glaze. 

She has been selected to join the Avant-Garde Art and Craft Shows organization  in North East Ohio.
