A world of abstract imagery and color

Lucie Marlo was born in Quebec City. Drawing was her first love. Her work received recognition early on and she won a number of local art competitions as a child.

Growing up with health problems, Lucie’s focus became wellness for those around her, which led her to earn a Ph.D. in Nutrition. Getting much guidance and inspiration from her mother Ana Von Shindler, Lucie opened and successfully managed a number of multidisciplinary health clinics in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

A dedicated humanitarian, Lucie found great satisfaction in her work, however, the demands of the field left her no time for creative expression. Over the years, Lucie’s increasing desire to paint become undeniable.
After much soul searching, she made one of the most difficult decisions of her life: to sell the clinics and no longer deny her passion for painting.

Her sense of duty compelled her to search for a ways to contribute to health. By volunteering her time in various fundraising efforts, Lucie had found the balance between her passions.

Her painting style is distinctive for its dynamic compositions and interplay of colors. Lucie describes her painting process as a reflection on life; her work's reoccurring theme is maintaining optimism through life's trials and tribulations.

Art collectors were drawn to her work, and the demand for her paintings kept her art flourishing.
In BC Lucie has exhibited her work at the Main Street Gallery in Sidney, Mattick's Farm Gallery and the Royal BC Museum in Victoria. She has participated in a number of collective exhibitions and had a solo exhibition at Gallery Sorance, Bear Mountain Golf Resort in April 2009.

In the US Lucie has exhibited in Xanadu Gallery on a number of occasions where she was the featured artist for the highly regarded art walk in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Lucie has been a guest on a number of television and radio shows. Her work continues to be featured in magazines. She lives in Victoria BC and Scottsdale, AZ.

Lucie’s work is in corporate and private collections in Canada and the United States, as well as Europe and South Africa.
