This is from a body of work that I'm calling "Mountains and Sea" (in honour of one of my favourite artists, Helen Frankenthaler). I have a fascination with the tension between structure and freedom. I have learned in painting (and in life) that I need a certain amount of stability to truly feel liberated. I see that kind of tension when I study the ocean. The horizon looks flat and steady while the waves at my feet are crashing and tumbling about. I also see it in the mountains, they are sturdy and strong but we know that there is so much action and turbulence on the slopes and in the trails. This body of work reflects my love for the sea and the mountains and my internal dialogue about the need to have my feet on the ground to spread my wings.

Marlene Lowden primarily works in oil and creates large expressive paintings on canvas. She grew up in an oceanside rural town outside of Vancouver, Canada. After several years in television broadcasting, she resumed her lifelong interest in painting, drawing, and photography. She draws from her experience in video production, applying to canvas similar principles of composition and storytelling. While working and raising her two daughters, she studied with a range of instructors learning watercolour, acrylic, and oil painting techniques. Marlene is now a painter and facilitator. She is a proud alumni of Thrive Art Studios, an international collective of female artists. She worked in partnership with Place des Arts in British Columbia and Art Girl Rising to produce videos to encourage people to create art at home during the early months of the pandemic. In 2021, she was named one of 28 contemporary Canadian artists to know by Create Magazine and is honoured to be included in the All She Makes curated artist directory and the 4th Edition of their magazine. Her work was also featured in Art Seen magazine published by the Curator’s Salon in the UK. She lives and works in her hometown of Gibsons, BC Canada.
