Marjolyn Vanderhart

As a veteran painter, I use my art to remind the viewer to enjoy life. Through the lens of the past I bring in elements of escape, love and empowerment to the themes of the work. Using vintage postcards, advertising and old photos, my art looks to give the viewer a space to go down memory lane but to also know that the past is never far from the our present experience. Marjolyn studied painting at Parsons School of Art and Design in New York City and received a Fine Arts degree from Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida. She also holds a BA with honors degree in Mass Communications from Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario. For the past 3 decades, Marjolyn has worked from her studio in Toronto and travels through the US exhibiting and winning awards in top art fairs across the country. She has won several grants from Ontario Arts Council and is represented by galleries and corporate collections in North America.
