Hi friends! I am an artist and art instructor in Dallas, TX. My favorite mediums are acrylic and mixed media and I love painting portraits, florals, cute animals and whatever inspires me to create! I have a background in fine art and art education and in the last 12 years, I've taught thousands of people to paint.


Art By Marlina

I’ve been quiet for a while.

Losing my mom changed everything. Grief has been a long, deep journey. One I’m still walking. I even stopped painting. I was afraid of what might come out if I picked up the brush… afraid to face what was inside me.

But in the stillness, healing began. Slowly, I’ve started finding my way back to myself.

I’ve felt her presence in ways I can’t fully explain. The universe speaks and I’m learning how to listen.

I’m not all the way back yet, but I’m getting there. And I’m hoping to return soon, with stories to share and pieces of what I’ve learned along the way.

Thank you for your patience. Truly. - Marlina
