Meet Marlowe: This Year’s Featured Artist
Art is a major part of Marlowe’s life! “I developed my artwork by drawing every day, taking out supplies with me in a little bag wherever I went in case I was inspired or in the mood for creating,” he explains. “I also attend weekly drawing, ceramics, and animation classes which help me learn more and progress in these areas.”
Marlowe, age 10, started with painting, sketching, and doodling, but now the artist also likes to work with ceramics, oil painting, crochet, digital animation, model stop-motion, and comic writing and illustration.
With Clonlara, Marlowe has the flexibility to set his own schedule and shape his own education. He typically spends his mornings in his art space at home, and he enjoys combining art with his other studies—like when he painted an acrylic piece featuring plants and animals from Madagascar during his study of the country and its geography!
Marlowe gets inspiration from other artists and from the new sights and cultures he experiences while traveling with his family. “The Clonlara Global Art Show also gives me a nice art project to work towards, and I really enjoy looking at the other artists’ pieces,” he tells us.
Marlowe has dreams of animating, spending time in Japan, and traveling through Europe selling paintings and ceramics from a caravan!
“My advice for any budding artists is to be free and get crazy creative,” Marlowe says. “I find art is a way to release your feelings and imagination. It’s your own way and style so just have fun with it.”
