Marlene Snee
I am a Northamptonshire based artist who’s inspiration comes from my love of nature, my local countryside and some of the lovely places I have visited around the world.
​
Most of my work is in watercolour, as I am endlessly fascinated by the wonderful luminosity and transparency of colour and the slight unpredictability of this medium, which makes it very exciting.
A lot of my work is in a colourful, loose and experimental style, which allows me to use my imagination and create art of a more personal nature.
​
For some years now I have also been practising the ancient art of Chinese Brush Painting, which tries to capture the essence and spirit of an object, rather than reproducing it as it is seen.
​
I love the simplicity and spontaneity of this art form and find it a constant challenge, but also a source of great pleasure and satisfaction.
More recently I have been learning linocut printing, a completely different approach to creating an image, but no less fascinating.
I love every stage of the process of creating a print, from drawing out the initial idea to transferring the image, cutting the lino and the stages of printing to when it all comes together in the final print.
​
To portray my chosen subject matter, which ranges from landscapes to flowers, the human form to animals, I also enjoy using pastels and mixed media.
