Artistic Freedom: Marilyn Shaker Bringing Nature’s Depth to Life For more than 40 years, Ohio artist Marilyn Shaker has been passionate about painting, applying her craft and creativity in painting these stunning works of art. Her work is a vibrant expression of nature’s depth of color, light and texture; created to take the eye beyond what is seen and to draw out the hidden colors in nature; colors that give her work vibrancy and beauty.

Her hands-on work has allowed her to paint with much depth and detail. Beyond her floral design career, she studied at the Cleveland Institute of Art, The Cleveland Museum of Art, and The Lighthouse School of Art in Florida. She attributes much of her inspiration to her longtime mentor, Charles Gruppe.
