ARTIST STATEMENT"My passion for painting beauty with an air of romance is deeply connected to light and nature. I aim to translate my excitement about the experience of what I see and feel, from the translucent, fragility of petals in light, to the softness of clouds above us, and the sensuous form of eggs in a nest, bringing new life into the world, to my canvas. Sharing my vision of capturing a passage in time. I work in watercolour and oils, the paint is gently caressed in many layers, creating depth and dimension. I use a palette of 12 colors which can vary, depending on the subject." ABOUTMarney-Rose Edge is a Vancouver based artist who paints beauty with an air of romance. It is her true mastery that make her paintings come alive. Although Edge is well known for her watercolours, oils have become an important part of her creative process.
