Willie Marlowe is best known for her small, intimate acrylic and mixed media
work on paper. These luminous, brilliantly colored pieces are reminiscent of
looking through a microscope at an entirely new, miniscule living world. Marlowe
makes playful use of geometric and organic shapes and symbols, all of which
reflect her interest in botany, marine life, Celtic culture and the archaeology
of Europe, the Yucaton and Russia. She was an artist-in-residence in Barbados,
West Indies; Cortona, Italy; Wexford, Ireland; the Millay Colony for the Arts in
Austerlitz, New York; and at the Cill Rialaig Project in Ballinskelligs,
Ireland. These extensive travels and experiences have each added to her unique
and growing iconography.
