Artist: Marilyn Herzik

Philosophy : Painting with Oils is like learning to see, as if for the very first time, the essence that lives within everything.  It is a  miraculous visual music that can be heard and felt, a subtle magical force that is born of trusting my intuition enough to act upon it.  My hope is for the viewer to 'hear' it too.

Style: A light touch of all parts of the world collide in magnificent Oil Paintings, Watercolors, and Etching.

Technique: An infinite array of brush strokes with layered swirl’s of paints sometimes creating tension or a natural flow.

Background: After working many years as an Illustrator in the textile industry, I became aware of the magnitude of disposable plastic junk that we put in to our land fills all in the name of advertising.
While traveling through Central America I saw with my own eyes, mans encroachment on our natural resources. The practice of thrash and burn for agricultural purposes diminishes miles of our precious rainforests every day. My goal for EarthArt is to donate proceeds from the sell of my specified art to worthy organizations, who are trying to save our endangered species and fragile environment. By linking friends with the same purpose and ideals and to educate myself and others, Art can be a powerful thing. An Image can evoke a thought, reason and pleasure. I wish to achieve an emotional response from the viewer followed by an appreciation of the information carried by the image.
