Marion is a rare find in that she is not only a talented artist, but also a gifted teacher. She has the ability to convey her artistic vision in words that students of all levels can understand. She is patient and encouraging, helping each of us to develop our own skills and find our own vision.
Dr. Miriam MannStratford ON
We really enjoyed the workshop Marion Anderson gave our group September, 2019. The focus was on preparing a textured canvas using mixed media and then creating an abstract floral composition. This was an informative and fun way to spend two days! Every member left the workshop having learned new techniques, and with a dynamic painting!
Workshop Convenors, P. Edgerton and J. HurrenThe London Brush and Palette Club, London ON
I have taken classes from Marion over the years - group and private. She is an experienced teacher with a wonderful balance of instruction and encouragement. I feel privileged to benefit from the breadth and depth of her artistic talent - a true gem.
Dr. Dorothy BakkerGuelph, ON
Many walls of our home are now graced with Marion’s paintings of flowers, lighthouses and landscapes in various sizes.
We admire her use of different mediums and her exuberant use of color.
Each time I visit her studio I feel as though I have to find another wall!

Thought you might be interested in a closer look at my latest series. Nick-named the dining room paintings, they are inspired by curtains from the family cottage. Stay tuned to view the full suite of these very large, mixed media acrylic canvases.

My Watercolour Wednesday challenges. Randomly select five or six photo pieces - these are squares cut from duplicate copies of photographs of flowers. Arrange pieces in a grid using shape or colour as your prompt. Create a bouquet design from this. Be sure to draw it on tracing paper so you can reuse many times, changing up your palette as you go.
