Marilene Andrade Salles was born in the south coast of Bahia (Brazil) where she grew up, studied and started her artistic career surrounded by the beautiful and varied wildlife where she took her inspiration from.

Over the years she has been travelling both nationally and internationally to exhibit her paintings. Marilene has had her artwork awarded and featured in a number of publications and also owned a successful gallery in Brazil.. Her passion translates to her paintings through vibrant colours, style and technique
" Being in touch with art at such an early age developed my self-confidence, expression and creativity,
tapping into my individual and unique perceptions. I believe it will help me stay in tune with my creative side throughout my entire life".
