Check out Marlene Bailey Gremillion's winter exhibition on display now at the Garland County Library! Email kara@emergentarts.org for purchases.About the Exhibit...
Marlene Gremillion

Marlene Gremillion is a sensitive person who enjoys life and her surroundings. She examines the beauty of nature especially in bright sunlight looking for the transparency in flowers and the shadows cast by objects onto another. Texture plays a major role in her paintings along with color that expresses a mood and feeling seen in the subjects she puts to paper or canvas.

Traveling with her husband throughout the United States, much of which has been in the outdoors, Marlene loves mountains, streams and flowers which are visible in her realistic and abstract paintings and collages. Marlene is a graduate of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and is a registered nurse. Being a sensitive and observant person when caring for others has carried over into her artistic endeavors.

Marlene is active in the arts in her community and has also studied art extensively, polishing her
watercolor techniques as a major subject. She has taken workshops from nationally renowned artists,
who she feels has broadened her abilities to really see minute details that can express an atmosphere in a particular piece.

Marlene explores visually varied subjects along with photographing and just sitting and taking in the
ambiance of God's creation. She has displayed her expressive photographs and uses them as tools in her
paintings and collages along with her jewelry creations in wire, metal and her new love polymer clay and
precious metal clay. Unable to put to words why she must create, except to say she feels a desire to keep on trying something new. "It's like I'm a child with a new toy, each time I pick up a paint brush full of paint. I've just got to have fun and see if I can make it."

Marlene is a signature member of Mid-Southern Watercolorists (Arkansas) and Louisiana Watercolor
Society, and Arkansas Pastel Society. She is a charter member of the Ouachita River Art Guild in West
Monroe, Louisiana and member of Brush Strokes in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas, and Arkansas
Beading Society. She also started the Ouachita Mountain Polymer Clay Guild November 2015.
The Butler Center Gallery in Little Rock, Arkansas, Ouachita Artists, Mt. Ida, AR, Artist Workshop
Gallery and All Things Arkansas in Hot Springs, Arkansas represent her.

Marlene has taught at National Park Community College (Continuing Education) Hot Springs, AR;
Arkansas Arts Center, Little Rock; Eureka Springs School of the Arts; Ozark Craft School, Mountain
View, AR, Emergent Arts, Hot Springs, AR along with travel teaching throughout the state of Arkansas,
Louisiana, Missouri, and Oklahoma.

Marlene and her husband live in the mountains of Hot Springs Village, Arkansas and have retired,
devoting full time to the outdoors and the creating of art and grandchildren!

Many of the works on display are for sale through Emergent Arts and a portion of the proceeds will be given to Emergent Arts to help fund their projects in our city. Contact kara@emergentarts.org for sales inquiries. ...
