The theme of my work is thinking with my heart. The colors of the oil on canvas paintings interact in ways that keep the viewer looking for more connections and returning to points of interest to interact once again with the dialogue of the painting. In a sensitive and subtle and alive spirit of love and wholehearted integrity that the guiding principal of life awakens the depths of the secret place in ourselves. As life often does, the life of Marilyn Biles has come full circle since her life as a fashion illustration student at Moore College of art in Philadelphia. Marilyn also had the great pleasure of teaching young children’s art. She has put her heart into making sure artists have been able to be seen and heard of, by starting and curating two non-profit galleries. Inspiration comes from her inner feelings and life experiences, brings her out of her comfort zone and facilitates improvisational healing spaces that appear in and beyond the surface of her paintings. That is where change happens and by way of form and color takes her to another dimension where words cannot. The specific emotions and memories may be personal but also may be experienced by viewers who choose to contemplate the work from a place inspired by their own experiences. Mental imagery is fearlessly made visual and that imagery is merged or modified to be explicit to the viewer who then can experience it visually or intellectually. Every painting is a new research project done in the unproved present creating symbols from experiences that express herself as she contacts and is inspired by the world. Unselfconsciously, she is exposing her inner life to others whose tastes and opinions are different but nevertheless as valid as her own. Art is life and can bring beauty, insight and purpose to transform and touch everyone who views her work.
