Artist quote that Marion Lane would like to share:



"Painting is paint on a flat surface.
Nothing more nothing less.
Make something happen there, I dare you."
 

-artist statement by Doug Edge 2013



Below is an exceptional video detailing Lane's process as she works. You will notice the skillful way the paint is handled and even get some nice glimpses into the mysterious techniques used. Worth watching:






Lane would like to thank the community of artists in Los Angeles, as well as the community of artists on-line that she has connected with.
