Released by Marla Thirsk
30″x36″ Acrylic on Canvas
$1500
Many Artists deal with dark inner subjects in their art, somehow they get released in the very act of creating art. Marla has freed herself from the inner ‘demons’ that a very tortured relationship with her mother had created. Released is an exciting addition to this series of paintings, despite the dark source of inspiration in the artists experience.
Access Denied by Marla Thirsk

“Access Denied – She never let me in, and I didn’t let her in either.” says Marla about this painting.
I feel as though we’ve been invited to get to know a side of Marla through these paintings, as side she’d never be able to explain in words.
Catch of the Day by Marla Thirsk
30″x36″ acrylic on canvas
$1500
There’s something very playful about this portrait of Rita, She’s out of the deck chair and heading out fishing. Here on the west coast it doesn’t take much to convince someone it’s a good time to go fishing.
Ugly Monkey by Marla Thirsk
30″ x 36″ Acrylics on Canvas
The lipstick that defined a glamorous era. Another compelling portrait…. doesn’t everyone remember their childhood toys?
In the painting you see a stuffed monkey doll. I got one for Christmas from my brother and I LOVED the darn thing to bits. “Ugly Monkey” is what my mother called me.

A bright eyed beauty, charming and just a little shy. This is a fresh and compelling portrait…. there’s something very natural and endearing about the pose.
Ladybug, Ladybug by Marla Thirsk (Marion Series #1)
30″ x 36″ Acrylics on Canvas
Nostalgic family photos are referenced for the figures but each painting tells a story, …the pigeons are remarkable, but Marion’s tear filled eyes and the doll elude to a less than sweet memory… unlike the cheerful birds in the wallpaper.
