The bright joyous paintings of Marlene Bulas are depicted in a wide range of styles and media.  Much of her work is impressionistic - especially her landscapes, still life, floral and figurative paintings.  Marlene also considers herself an experimental artist and has been exploring abstraction and intuitive paintings on paper and canvas as well.  Love of colour and the painting process itself are the main focus of her art.  Major influences on her paintings have been the French Impressionists, the Group of Seven, and various contemporary instructors in Canada and the USA - especially Louise Cadillac of Colorado, USA.
