ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
"I long for color and I thirst for line. " - Marilyn Wells
Art was Magic from her earliest memories. Growing up in rural Nebraska during and after WWII, she saw worlds beyond hers through line drawings in children’s story books. Against the drab rooms and towns where she lived, she saw she could create new worlds with her brush and ink bottle. Here was the form she craved; here were her own stories.
She was most recently featured in Urban Mud Member Show, Dec 2021, 5280 Magazine, "Lights Out" End Page, Solo Art Show, “Inviting the Mystic” at Metropolitan Frame and has taught meditative Sumi e brushwork at Walker Fine Art in Denver, Colorado, Foothills Art Center in Golden, CO, Arvada Center for Arts, Arvada, CO

PROCESS FOR SUMI PAINTING
To alter my train of conscious thinking, I begin with an unfamiliar line of poetry, a haiku, a koan, or a piece of music I can bodily experience. An emotion within my body is evoked on a deeper level than the rational and verbal intellect.
I am listening to a voice within me, not my head voice. After some warm up practice and reacquaintance with brushstrokes and the paint quality, I am quiet in front of a piece of rice paper. Then, out of this deeper space, I respond with my brush and my ink. The image is painted—almost, it seems, of its own accord—as if the brush has a voice of its own.
I have often watched others as they sit with my unfamiliar and foreign work and writing. I watch their face come back renewed as though from a foreign land.
There is a pure joy in heartful being that cannot be said. There is a pure joy in soulful oneness that cannot be said. Healing comes from that contemplative depth. It feels magical.
The magic is real and is communicated in vibrating energies within myself, within the viewer, that move out into the world, making it a better, more loving and fulfilling place to be.
Our world is so cerebral. We thirst for a deeper experience. My paintings invite the viewer into that experience. This is also the way of the feminine, a way or knowing in more wholeness, my way of Finding My Heart and Soul in Sumi e Painting.
MARILYN WELLS - SUMI E STATEMENT
I thirst for Line. I adapt my love for minimalism, meditation and Zen Christianity into abstract Sumi e paintings, stark blacks and grays on white mulberry paper, since 2011. My artworks bear Zen koan inspiration by beginning with a quotation ranging from Rumi to Shakespeare and jazz.
This way of painting is the Way of the Tao. This is the only way of being that lasts, that is eternal. I find this way of being in my sumi e abstract painting, which is meditation. They are one in two different forms.
In the silence, I allow the Ch’i to flow through me and through my brush. Heart, soul, and brush - one flow. New energy, life energy, is born. A shift takes place.
I experience joy, peace, satisfaction that lasts long after the work is accomplished. It is a healing process, a sense of being whole.
I carry that with me. I find it affects, shapes and alters my life. Things are there that were not there before. Time is sometimes altered. I have never been let down. I am carried in this altered way of being and I grow into it increasingly.
This work comes from a contemplative depth of meditation, both Zen Buddhist and Contemplative Christian, and from studying Zen artists, poets and Western abstract artists from Kokoschka through Helen Frankenthaler, Franz Kline, Robert Motherwell and all the abstract artists in between.

MARILYN WELLS - FIGURATIVE ART STATEMENT
I long for Color. With color and line, I illustrate the feminine in narrative, archetypal, and magical landscapes in which I live, have lived, and want to live.
My figurative painting process is layering in oil from a dark ground to light. This reveals the essence I strive to reveal - inner divinity against a patterned, decorative world, or at other times, the inner light shining within persons against the outer darkness of chaos.
I return to abstract oil painting when I need to revel in color and raw emotion. The abstract oil paintings have no layering, but are direct and immediate, based on poetry and quotations, like my stark black on white Sumi e paintings.
I am striving always to create inspirational paintings from line and color, as spirt and the Way of the Tao moves me.
