Artist Marilyn Simandle
Marilyn Simandle is an internationally known oil and water color painter. At the age of six, and learning from her mother, a musician and painter, Marilyn started painting watercolors. She has always known that she would become a professional artist. After receiving her BA Arts Degree from San Jose State University along with decades of discipline and dedicated practice, Marilyn has gone on to share her inspirations with the world. She is credentialed as a Master with OPAM, NWS, and AWS (Oil Painters of America, National Water Color Society, and American Water Color Society). She has authored two books, “Capturing Light in Watercolor” and “Contagious Enthusiasm”, both of which reflect her mantra “It takes a lot of practice to become a professional”.

In her "Painterly Style", Marilyn tries to convey her own personal beliefs of what art truly is. Her mentors are John Singer Sargent and Joaquin Sorolla. The artist's role is to make the ordinary extraordinary. She loves to explore the interplay of light and shadow and its effects on the subject matter. Her painting compositions engage her collectors with uplifting shapes, values, and exciting colors, tonal relations and depth. Marilyn believes it is far better to leave a painting more unfinished rather than with too much detail so the viewer can complete the painting. It is more free to view a single brush stroke done with energy and confidence that 100 strokes done with drudgery.

Biophilic design artwork to increase your well being

Our artwork stems from our experiences in nature to evoke a connectedness for well being and elevate health. Artwork simulates views of nature when an actual view isn't present. We want our artwork to inspire you to deepen your connection with nature and bring you joy. Paintings were done by Sandra Devine who was a renowned landscape architect from California. She infused her talents into many properties that increased the happiness of her clients in their outdoor spaces as well as their home values. In her late years she took up painting to help give her purpose while her health declined. She painted every day for 5 years. Many of the paintings are from photographs from her daughter (me) that I took while out and about on hikes, traveling documenting nature's gifts in both macro and landscape views. While she is gone as of Jan 20, 2023 I want her legacy to live on through her paintings. All photography and collages are from Michelle. My background is photography and design. I own am environmental wellness company and help people design their homes well. I look forward to bringing you artwork that you can enjoy for years to come!
