Ballard & Call: Downtown Camas Art Gallery Features Marilyn Farrell Webberly For April’s First Friday

Northwest Artists is the focus of the Ballard and Call Gallery in Camas, WA.  Gallery owners, Sharon Ballard and Marquita Call are honored to be a part of this thriving and growing community.

Marilyn Farrell Webberley will be the April featured artist at the Gallery.  The exhibit of her work will commence with the” First Friday” festivities April 5th and continue through the month. Marilyn resides in Seattle but ties to her hometown of Camas are still strong as is the impact of her Farrell family on the history of Camas.

Marilyn earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree from the University of Washington where she studied both commercial and fine art. She later studied oil painting in the Russian Impressionist tradition with Wm F. Reese and three proteges of Sergei Bongart: Lois McFarland, Ron Lukas and Sunny Apinchapong-Yang.

A published author, illustrator, graphic designer and award winning fine art painter, her work has appeared in a variety of venues ranging from Metro bus banners, storefronts, and the theater stage, to museums and galleries, and has been juried into regional, national, and international exhibitions.

Her paintings are held in corporate collections in the United States and private collections in the US, Bahamas, UK, Europe, Middle East and Asia.

In Marilyn’s words: “I paint moments I enjoy from personal experience. My subjects can be almost anything, since my interest is capturing patterns of light, shadow and color. It pleases me when the viewer experiences some of the delight that caught my attention – the reason for creating the piece.”
