Artist : Marilyn Andrews

Nelson-based artist Marilyn Andrews works to create vibrant images from her environment. She finds landscapes a wonderful excuse to play with shapes, colours and textures on the canvas surface. It’s the juxtaposition and resonance of colour that she really enjoys…light and vibration. Gabriele Munter, Monet, Kandinsky, Gustav Klimt, Doris Lusk and Toss Woollaston have all influenced her work, each artist taking her through experimental paths of exploration. Marilyn has been a finalist in the New Zealand Wearable Art Awards, multiple finalist in the Telecom Artawards, winner of the Yellow Pages Arts Scholarship in 2003, and has had work selected for exhibitions nationally.
