Marilyn Rock
-
Artist
I was
born and raised in Schenectady, New York and
continue to live there.
My art journey began approximately 14 years ago with
the planting of a seed called the greeting card. Who
would have thought this little seed would blossom
into the world of collage and mixed media?
Art has become a passion and I am so fortunate that
I found it, or perhaps, it has found me and just at
the right time of my life. My eyes, mind, heart and
spirit are opened wider than every before. Each day
is filled with appreciating even the smallest detail
around me looking at it through an artistic eye.
Along with the actual creative process, I also love
sharing art which has offered an opportunity for me
to teach and share my expertise with others. I
currently have the privilege and opportunity to
teach at the Albany Art Room. My goal, with
teaching, is to encourage students to express
themselves in their own way with techniques that I
have learned and created along the way. Some of my
class offerings are: Introduction to collage,
acrylic painting incorporating collage, background
techniques for collage, altered books, and I also
run a monthly collage clinic at the Albany Art Room.
This allows participants some art time, for
themselves, learn new techniques and finish any art
projects that they've started but haven't been able
to finish.
My favorite art expression is collage and combining
this with acrylic medium as well as textures and 3-D
elements. I love collecting old photos,postcards,
and ephemera to include them in my art. I love
expressions on faces which often spark the
inspiration for a piece. My style of art tends to
lean towards vintage. However, with my recent
discovery of acrylic painting, I'm starting to jump
a little bit outside the vintage box.
Some of my works have been published in some popular
art magazines; including Somerset Studio and
ARTitude Zine magazines, very popular among artists
all over the world. My art also appears in a book
called 1,000 Artist Trading Cards which was
published in 2007. I've contributed articles for
websites including Art-e-zine, a reknowned website
founded by Gillian Allen.
I recently received an Honorable Mention award at
the 57th Villagers' Stockade Art Show in
Schenectady, New York for one of my mixed/media
pieces "Uprooted" and with this same piece, was
awarded a 2nd prize through a juried show with the
Colonie Art League..
