Marilyn Robertson Prints Two fashion prints featuring Japanese Ladies. For as long as she can remember, Marilyn Robertson has been creating art. As a child, she recalls that, "Dolls and toys were much less important to me than paints, crayons, scissors and glue." As an adult, Marilyn's passion for creativity first led her to become an art teacher. After the birth of her daughter, she left her profession to focus her varied talents and interests toward designing and publishing greeting cards, graphics and textiles. Marilyn's artistic influences are as varied as her abilities. She names the rich colours and dream-like qualities of Pre-Raphaelite painters such as Rossetti and Burne-Jones as being important to her work. Other influences include the nature-inspired works of the Art Nouveau period, the Impressionists and the free-flowing graphic style of Aubrey Beardsley. Today, in her studio in Nottingham, England, Marilyn loves to paint "the fabulous vibrant shapes and endless rich colours" of flowers and fruit. "They are a source of constant delight and inspiration."f&g 74 x 53cm (2)
