Following a successful career in the fashion industry, Marilyn Sparks discovered her passion for painting.
Sparks experience with color, texture, and proportion are evident in the way she combines these elements on canvas.
Sparks a self-taught artist is continually evolving, recreating and reinventing herself through her bold barns, bright florals, and peaceful landscapes. Sparks says, "Having grown up in the South with country landscapes being an important part of my life, I am passionate about old barns. Because they are disappearing from our landscapes, being replaced by shopping centers and subdivisions, I feel compelled to capture what remains in the fields and in my memories."
Marilyn Sparks a Georgia native happily sheds her fashion image for a painter's smock. She has had several one woman and group shows in Atlanta, Highlands, NC, Charlotte, NC, Jacksonville, FL and Charleston, SC.
