Marilyn Orner’s Seenic – as in “seen” and “scenic” opened on October 27.  The local landscape is Orner’s favorite subject matter, which she likes to show in its most colorful and expressive beauty. She primarily works in oil “searching the landscape that surrounds her for moments that stand out, that surprise, or that are imbued with the play of light and reflections, which become her subject.”

Orner was graduated with a BFA from the California College of Arts and Crafts (now California College of the Arts), and an M.Ed. from Lesley University. She has taught art for much of her career, including currently – she teaches painting at Berkshire Art Center in Lenox.  Her work has been exhibited in New York and the Berkshires, and is in many private collections.

The artist recognizes that painting is a solitary endeavor, she feels that the work comes alive when it is “seen and heard and felt.”  We hope you will see and enjoy Orner’s work, on view until December 2, 2023.
