Marlise Witschi

I was born and raised in Switzerland, with a father who was a painter and sculptor - Werner Witschi.
I lived in BC, Canada for many years and moved in October 2021 to Be l Sargento, Baja California Sur, Mexico.

As a youngster i got to visit weekly modern Art Shows in Bern and abroad. My favorites were Miro, Picasso, Matisse, Mondrian, Klee, Klimt, and the Expressionists.

I am painting mostly on canvas in Acrylics and Mixed Media. I love the ease and speed with which I can paint and draw marks with Acrylics.

I have been committed to painting for the last 17 years, It is my life. The more I paint, the more I want to paint.

I've won several Awards of Excellence and for Best of Show by the Federation of Canadian Artists.

I learned the basic painting skills from my father.
In the last twelve years I have taken many Courses, Workshops, painting retreats, and an Artist Residency with eminent international modern painters in Canada, US and Mexico.
