Hi! I’m Marley!
I am 18 and live under the wide, blue and beautiful Santa Barbara California sunshine right on the coast. I am a writer, painter, dancer, photographer, adventurer, filmmaker, traveler, poet, dreamer, Vegan cook and love doing all of these things with people and friends and having FUN!!
I have been painting and drawing ever since I was little and have never had an art class but simply love learning from the greats and those around me. I am most inspired by the classic renaissance art by Leonardo De Vinci, Monet, Degas, and Cassatt, as well as a lot of Pre-Raphaelite art like John William Waterhouse, and a few more modern artists like Frida Kahlo.
Most of my paintings have been portraits of women over the years, simply because I love fashion and love uplifting the Divine Feminine. Only recently have I began painting portraits of men as well (it took me a long time to shift gears, men are completely different!) but I do enjoy exploring new things like landscapes, animals and architecture and hope to gain better skills at drawing these along the way. My medium varies from acrylic, I love pastels, watercolors, clay, everything! As for photography, I love catching visions of beauty in day to day life through everything that I do; chilling out at the beach with friends, writing in the woods, dancing under a bridge, and dressing up for a picnic. I love capturing my love for nature in pictures, and I’m most happy when I’m taking a walk or hike in the woods or at the beach.
I believe in making every day a new story to be told, and spreading love and light and joy through everything that I do and hope to share this with people and help shine the light!
LET THERE BE LIGHT!
