Paintwerx Studios

Welcome to

Welcome, and thanks for checking out Paintwerx Studios! I love sharing my love of painting in the variety of subject, styles, and mediums you’ll see when you browse through the collection of artwork. Perhaps you’ll find a piece that you might fall in love with, or an idea for a workshop I could teach for your group. Check out the events/workshop page for current info on this.

I’ve been both painting and teaching art for many years and still enjoy each new experience, as well as meeting students in whom I can instill a love for the same.

Marianne Harris

Artist & Instructor

Marianne was born in Edmonton Alberta, and developed her interest in art while still in elementary school. She started with a general exposure to various types of art media, but quickly focused her interests on painting, first in oils, then watercolours, and now adding acrylics and mixed media. Over the years many artists have inspired and influenced her, and she still enjoys a variety of styles and subject matter which is represented in her artwork.
