About
Marilyn Peeters is a multi-media, expressionist artist located in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Her paintings and drawings boast bold, vivid colours of the West Coast’s natural environment. Her work features ocean, forest, floral, and landscapes representing the Pacific Northwest and her travels around the world.
"My connection with nature has been engraved in my soul since childhood. As a child I remember spending many hours alone in the forest behind my parents’ house lost in my own imaginary games and thoughts. The forest became my extension of home, an area that gave me a release from the family dynamics . I seemed to have found a sense of peace playing in nature at a young age."
She and her family moved to the Comox Valley in the early 1980’s. During that time she volunteered as a theatre set designer then she moved onto art school. Marilyn received her Fine Arts Diploma through North Island College and then in 2009 she received her Bachelors of Fine Arts with Emily Carr University . Recently she has received a Signature Status/ AFCA with the Federation of Canadian Artists.
Marilyn's art can be found throughout the community at Van Isle Vets, The Bridge Medical Clinic, Sid William Theatre, art galleries, airports and restaurants across Vancouver Island and in Vancouver.
She now paints full time in her studio.
