First time Plein Air Easton juried artist Marilyn Rose sold very well in 2022 and joins Tim and Marie to discuss her experience.  Through that conversation, they debate what qualifies as "art", how she returned to art after a career in graphic design, and the careers of the OTHER Marilyn Rose's in the country.

Marilyn Rose, a NJ resident, is a signature member of the Catherine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club, the Northeast Watercolor Society, New Jersey Watercolor Society, Garden State Watercolor Club and the Baltimore Watercolor Society. Her paintings have won numerous awards in statewide and national exhibitions and have been juried into numerous shows and plein air competitions. Her paintings are in private and corporate collections across the U.S. and Canada and her illustrations have appeared in national magazines. She teaches at the various locations, including her home studio and Art School at the Old Church in Demarest, NJ, runs a plein air workshop each summer at the Landgrove Inn in Vermont.  In 2013, Marilyn was selected to be an artist in residence in Bryant Park in NYC and continues to run workshops there as well. 

While her paintings take the natural world around her as their subject matter, they are really about edges; the places where things meet: paint and paper, light and shadow, pigment and water, reality and abstraction. They document an inner journey and an outer journey simultaneously. Marilyn’s work takes a traditional medium, and pushes its boundaries, with a boldness and exuberance, which she invites the viewer to share.
