Marilyn Geyer is a native of Southern California with roots in Norway, where she studied painting in her early years with Norwegian impressionist Johannes Kolbel. Later, while living in the Bay Area, she continued her study at California College of the Arts in Oakland.
"I am amazed by the mystery of life and its ongoing battle of conflicting elements and qualities. My paintings reflect the chaotic nature of our world. I use a bright, colorful palette that reveal the untamed beauty amidst the turmoil. I often add dimension to my canvases to portray a hidden, underlying meaning to life."
Her two grown children, Josh and Erin, love her very much and she is fortunate to be able to spend time with them very often.
