About Marlee
Marlee is a Canadian Visual Artist, Illustrator and Designer. Her work is inspired by the Pacific Northwest’s flora and fauna, the woodland creatures she shares her home with, her curious daughter and the treasures she finds on their nature walks.
Marlee has always been a creative from the early years as a child growing up in BC’s interior. She loved exploring the outdoors where the forest and lake was her playground. Marlee and her siblings would tell stories of fairies, swim with lake monsters and build troll fortresses. Through her high school years she could always be found in the school’s art department studying different art mediums. This lead her to pursuing art in College where she attended Capilano College’s (now University) Studio Art Program. She went on to finish her visual arts degree at Emily Carr University of Art and Design.
Over the years Marlee has explored many avenues of art making from painting to ceramics, basketweaving to print making, fiber arts to photography. In more resent years her creative path turned to design and illustration and she went back to school to receive her Diploma in Graphic Design.
Marlee now lives on Vancouver Island with her husband Dave, their daughter, Fiadh and dog, Nimmy. She mainly works with Gouache and Watercolour paint along with digital applications like Photoshop and Procreate. Her studio is located in a small town by the sea where you can find her wandering the forests or collecting beach glass with Fiadh and Nimmy by her side. Since the birth of her daughter her paintings and Illustrations now explore childrens literature, her imagination and childhood memories with a sprinkle of whimsical wonder.
