My Work in a Film!

This winter one of my paintings will be seen on the big screen!  Look for my painting  in the film "How Do You Know" which stars Owen Wilson, Reese Witherspoon, Jack Nicholson, and Paul Rudd.  The painting "Halloween II" www.marlenerye.com/content/halloween-ii is in Owen Wilson's character's apartment and is seen a lot in the film!  Here's a link to a screen shot of Reese Witherspoon in front of the corner if the painting....www.reese-pics.com/displayimage.php.  Go see the film to see the whole painting several times :)

More opportunities to see my work.

My studio is in the Paragon Arts and Industry Building in Easthampton at 150 Pleasant Street. If you can not make the open studio on October 1st, feel free to come out another time!

And the winner is .... Pam Ritchie!!!

Thanks to everyone that joined the village to help a family in need!  We raised $2800 and 6 artists donated art supplies to the son!  I was hoping to raise $600 for this family and thanks to 89 supporters we more than quadrupled my original goal.  The family got to make the trip to see their family in NC and they had lots more money to help with their ongoing medical expenses.  I am truly touched by the kindness in the world.  The winner of the raffle will get a painting of mine worth $2800.  Wow!!!!  Thank you all!
