My art blog is found by clicking on "Links" or go to krug-art.blogspot.comI am still updating photos of my work, many are not listed here. This is only a small representation of my work. If you are interested in seeing more works, please visit my galleries or contact me.
I am an abstract expressionist as well as representational artist. The use and manipulation of natural elements, color and texture drive my work. I began painting with watercolor in 1996, endeavoring to be a “purist” in transparent watercolors, but soon expanded into use of opaque watercolors, acrylic, soft pastels, polymer mediums, oil and other mixed media to result in layered texture, form and color. Major influences include teachers James Kirk, Skip Lawrence, as well as the modern and classic painters J. M. W. Turner, Diebenkorn, Wayne Thiebauld, Chuck Close, Matisse and many more. I hope to open a dialogue with the viewer, so that the viewer wants to touch the surface, and that my art will raise more questions than it answers.”
Background
Marilyn Krug is a native Oregonian. She lives in West Salem with a backyard full of squirrels, chipmunks, and hundreds of birds. Her passion for drawing and painting has been with her from earliest memories. “My home is surrounded by hillsides graced by old White Oak and fir trees, and close to the ocean. I am inspired by nature and architectural form, which are reflected in representational as well as abstract works.”
She joined Artists in Action in 2001, and served on the Board of Directors in 2002 as its treasurer, in 2003 she served on the Board of Directors as its Vice President, and in 2004 was elected President and Chairman of the Board. She has continued to be active serving on the Board for additional years and now enjoys being an active member, and having more time to paint and teach.
Marilyn enjoys teaching acrylic, mixed media and watercolor. When not painting, Marilyn enjoys bird watching, travel, photography, and literature.
