Darlene Marsch
Darlene Marsch has lived in the RM of St. Clements all her life. She got the artistic bug at a very young age. Her parents encourage her to pursue her talent (even letting her redecorate their home several times – lol).
She continued to do her artwork in Junior High and then enrolled in the Commercial Arts program in High School. This is where she really honed in on different mediums such as charcoal, Indian ink, watercolour, acrylic, pencil, pencil crayon, oil, etc.
After graduating from High School, she worked for the Province of Manitoba for over 37 years. During that time, she continued to do more arts and crafts. Now retired, she has more opportunity to experiment on other mediums such as: pottery and fibre art (felting, upcycling vintage lace/doilies to create sculptures using Paverpol technique), dot art, jewelry, etc.
Her pieces of art are unique and guaranteed never to be the same. You don’t know what you will find – it is like picking for mushrooms.
Darlene is a member of the Gwen Fox Gallery in Selkirk and the Golden Prairie Art Council in Carman. You can see her artwork there, as well as other Art Exhibits across Manitoba, including Gaynor’s Selkirk Library, in Selkirk and P2P traveling art show in the Carmen area.
She also has been commissioned to do various types of artworks.
You may have also seen her featured several times in the Selkirk Record.
