JAG Featured Member Artist
Marlene Scheer was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. In 2009, Marlene and her husband Stuart moved to Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida to share in the wonderful life her children were experiencing living at the beach, and to paint the natural beauty of Northern Florida. Marlene’s love of painting, and art in general, began in her childhood, taking classes and experimenting with cubism, expressionism, abstraction and collage. Her work has developed into a representational expression using color as her essential element to express her artistic visions.
In New York, Marlene studied at the Art Students League of NY along with with many important teachers to help hone her skills and techniques. Regular visits to MOMA, THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART and N.Y. galleries offered an art education that was extremely important to her development. Her painting technique is one that continues to change since experimentation plays an important role in her work. and continues to do so based on what she sees and feels at the moment. Her passion for color and experimentation takes her work into her own very unique style.
Florida with its beautiful marshes, waterways, beaches and river fronts have presented her with new and exciting muses, using color in her own personal way. She expresses “My canvas comes directly from my heart and imagination.”
