In 1993, after many years of making functional stoneware and classic raku forms, Marlene moved to a small acreage on Vancouver Island where, inspired by the rocks and forests around her, she discovered the excitement of exploring texture in clay. Her work continues to evolve.
"... a must see for anyone interested in comprehending how the medium of clay can be pushed. Her show is a great balance between the intellectualization of space and a tremendous sense of humour and life."- The Skin of this Planet, Crafthouse, May, 2002, Calvin Taplay, communications coordinator, Crafts Association of British Columbia.
