Willie Marlowe

Paintings from Venice: 2006-2011

Willie Marlowe is as sweet and genteel a Southern woman as you will ever meet. Her modesty belies the cosmopolitan, international artist that she has been for decades. Marlowe, who was born in Whiteville, NC and trained under the legendary Francis Speight at East Carolina University, rolled very far from the tree. Marlowe, who now lives in Albany, New York, has become recognized internationally, and she has been invited to show in Ireland, Canada, England, Croatia, and Germany, to name but a few. Willie Marlowe’s brightly colored, biomorphic works are particulary appreciated in Venice and she has returned there for several years to paint. Marlowe’s pieces from that city are her most inspired, and it is the great pleasure of Gallery C to present this collection of her Venetian paintings.

The paintings in this exhibit are a part of a touring exhibition entitled, "Willie Marlowe: A Survey." This retrospective was launched at the Opalka Gallery, The Sage Colleges in Albany, New York. Selections from the show have toured in three locations in New York, including the Arkell Museum, and will be on view and sale at Gallery C from September 29 to October 26. A beautiful 32 page full color catalog accompanies the show. A catalog will be given with each purchase.
