Marney-Rose Edge

Marney-Rose Edge is a Vancouver based artist who paints the fragility in nature. She loves living in New Westminster and has done so since 2003.
Born in New Zealand she travelled and worked in many countries before making Canada home. Art has become her third career. After spending 25 years in the printing industry as a color expert she moved into the high tech industry working for the Kodak Graphic Communications group. This career used her expertise gained in the printing industry. She had always been creative and she found her passion in painting. Becoming an entrepreneur was a natural transition during an economic downturn and she turned her passion into a business.  

 It is her true mastery that make her paintings come alive. Although Edge is well known for her watercolours, and oils, she has continued exploration into mark making for her latest collection proving this to be an important part of her creative process. 
 
Her subject matter over the years has included florals, nests, seascapes, animals, and landscapes, choosing the medium based on the subject. Edge is a natural teacher, sharing her extensive knowledge with students across the country. She was chosen as one of the elite instructors for the symposium in Calgary with the CSPWC.
