Marlene Maloney is a former graphic artist and middle school art teacher from Minneapolis. Since retirement, she’s been enjoying her own creative life working with pastels, watercolors, and acrylics. Her style is still evolving and loosening up with more expressive colors and brushstrokes. Marlene has painted many subjects but looks mostly to nature for inspiration. She loves Lanesboro and enjoys working with people and hopes to teach and inspire creativity in this community!
