Marilyn Barkhouse Art

Marilyn Barkhouse was born in the Canadian Maritimes on Prince Edward Island. She’s is an award-winning artist who, at a very early age, was considered something of an artistic genius. At the age of fifteen, Marilyn attended the fine art program at Acadia University in Nova Scotia. She decided to graduate early from the Fine Art and Graphic Design program at Annapolis Campus in Nova Scotia (Middleton) in order to begin competing in the gallery circuit at the age of only 19. She has participated in several exhibitions and has gained considerable recognition for the photo-realistic quality of her work. The artist has her studio near the Cape Blomidon provincial park; a very popular park in Nova Scotia. Through contracts and commissions, the subject matter of her artwork has expanded to include portraiture of domestic animals as well as international wildlife in pastels, pen-and-ink and acrylics which are her favorite mediums. She’s inspired by the wildlife that she can see from her studio window, including coyote, deer, bald eagles and fox. Marilyn enjoys the serenity and quietness of a pastoral, rural life along with an extensive menagerie of pets, all previously abandoned or abused animals to which she has given a loving and warm home. Many collectors are delighted to be able to stock the charming artistic works of this extremely creative and versatile artist. Her art, especially the framed Marilyn Barkhouse art, adorn the walls of many galleries and buildings around the globe. She’s available for licensing work and can also pick projects of any form.
