Brigid Marlin was born in Washington, D.C., studied at
the National College of Art, Dublin, the Centre d'Art Sacre, and the Atelier
André L'Hote, Paris, the Beaux-arts, Montreal, and the Arts Students League of
New York. Later she went to Vienna to learn the 'Mische' technique, a process
of painting which was a carefully guarded secret of the Flemish and Italian
Renaissance painters, and revived after painstaking research by Ernst Fuchs.
Returning to England, she founded the "Inscape" group of painters to continue
the exploration and research into techniques of painting; and later the world
between painters, sculptors, print-makers and jewelers. She teaches painting at
West Herts. College and in London.
In 1982 she was resident artist at the Dorland Mountain Colony and in 1985 she
was resident artist and painting teacher at the Carl Rogers Center for the
Study of the Person, at the University of California.
In 1985 she illustrated Mary O'Hara's book, "Celebration of Love". In 1989 she
wrote a book "From East to West" which was published by Collins Fount. In 1990
she was commissioned to paint a headmaster of Cheam School, Berks. Her work is
in the National Portrait Gallery, London, and museums and collections all over
the world.
Brigid Marlin is the founder of the Society
for the Art of Imagination. The society holds an annual exhibition at
the Mall Galleries, London. The exhibition is open to all artists working in
the realms of the fantastic, surreal and visionary. For more details please
