Arlene Marcoe-Davis
For as far as I can remember making art in its many forms is the way that I express myself in this world. In school I studied drawing, ceramics, painting, jewelry and stage design and leaving with a modest scholarship I intended to attend the Art Student League in NYC. Fate however had other plans and I moved to the Island of Maui.
I was an active member of the Lahaina Art Society and the Hui No’Eau. I furthered my studies with seminars on the mainland with master pastelist Albert Handel and Daniel Greene as well as watercolorist, Judi Betts. After 25 years in the islandsI found myself here in New Jersey and I took advantage of being able to study portraiture and anatomy with instructor Al Gury at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. It was then that I fell in love with oil paint.
Today I work in my studio that overlooks the marshland of South
Jersey. I know longer paint for prizes or profit, just the sheer joy of it. I recently withdrew my membership to the Salmagundi Club in NYC and am enjoying teaching locally.
