About Me
Hi World!
I'M Marlena Wilding
I am a Mix Media Artist, who currently lives and works in Seattle Washington with my husband and 2 kids.
I love to create layered works based on my perspective of all that is; portrayed both physically and metaphorically to convey a poignant message that can be understood in stages by all.
My "Her-story"
I grew up in Lindon Utah and went to Brigham Young University; where I received my B.A. in Visual Arts and studied Abroad in Great Britain to further my knowledge and practice; this is where "Untitled," "Patterns," "The Past," and the foundation that becomes "Sow", was created.
I have had work featured in various galleries and art publications in the States and the UK.
I taught At Risk Youth at Heritage (where I met my husband) to channel their pain, joy, experience, etc into works of art to bring healing and self-love, while also pursuing a Master’s Degree in Special Education at Weber State University.
4 years later, I picked up a brush and scissors and started to create art again. As well as slowly reveal works made years previously.
Today
Now that my littles are older, I am ready to get to work and devote even more time to my creations.
**My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.
