In particular, she enjoyed giving everyone painted flowers, and seeing their smiles when they received them. Marilyn has always painted to portray emotions, her central inspiration. During her youth, she attended an art school for 12 years, where she learned to hone her drawing skills, and to look at her work from the outside in. Marina continued to study drawing even after art school, cultivating her own techniques. Marilyn loves to paint with oil, and always portrays positive emotions in her artwork.
