Marlene has painted a surreal desert landscape drawing on elements inspired by her country and memory and imagination.

Marlene is a prolific artist and enjoys working across several mediums including batik, painting, ceramics, felting and punu. Marlene enjoys experimenting with ideas and mediums and very much enjoys the reactions of others with the materials she has chosen to use.  At the art centre, her work can create much curiosity and laughter to begin but is always greatly admired when finished. 

Marlene Taylor is a big woman with a great laugh and a huge capacity for enjoying life and creating eclectic art.  Most of her life has been in and around Titjikala, her father working on Maryvale Station (Titjikala) as a stockman and her mother in the homestead cleaning. She attended high school in Alice Springs during her early teens and on returning to Titjikala she worked at the Women’s Centre and then moved over to the Art Centre.
