Marlen Muccio - Painter

In visiting Orlando's Gallery Q for an exhibition I discovered this fine artist's work. Marlen Muccio was born and raised in Peru where she began painting and drawing as a child. She later trained under Chilean master, Jaime Ferrer, for four years to learn the subtleties of painting with oils.

In 2001 she studied with Jay DePalma to refine her pencil work, and worked on her portrait skills in oil with Argentine artist and teacher J.M. Garcia-Segovia. In 2002 she explored her interest in realism by drawing from live models with Cuban-American art historian, Leony Fernandez.

Today she shares her passion for creating art by teaching youngsters to paint and draw.

Her work is just delghtful and I hope to see more good work from her in local galleries in the future.
