Picture
Marlies Merk Najaka has been a professional artist for over 30 years. Her paintings are included in many corporate, museum and private collections. She is a signature member of AWS and NWS. It is Marlies' unique and sensitive use of color that makes her art so recognizable. She is able to capture the delicate essences of shadow and light and incorporate them with a forceful underlying composition. Her paintings appear truly illuminated from within.
"My work is always as much about what I eliminate in my painting as it is about what I include." Because of the unique method in which she applies her watercolors, Marlies is able to achieve richly toned and extremely complex glazes of color. Until recently, Marlies' work had been almost impossible to duplicate using conventional printing techniques. "With the advent of Glicee printing, I am finally able to recreate my art. Giclee prints incorporate all of the subtle nuances of my original art so well that it is rarely possible for me to distinguish one from the other".

NEW BOOKS: My painting "Kyoto" is featured in the "The Artful Home" book by Toni Sikes. You can purchase the book at: Amazon. My watercolor paintings are featured in the publication "Best of America Watermedia Artists"and "Best of Worldwide Watermedia Artists"
The Fall 2003 issue of American Artist's Watercolor Magazine featured an extensive article on my watercolor paintings. The article can be viewed on my Watercolor Blog

I would like viewers of my watercolor paintings to experience them from their perspective without the interjection of my concepts and work process. The hope is for the viewer to enter a dialogue with the art that avoids preconceived notions or my conceptual influences. Art is about the experience, both in the creation and in the viewing of it.  

“Paintings must be understood through the eyes, and that's not the word either. No writing, no talking, no singing, no dancing will explain them. They are the final, the nth whoopee of sight." 
Charles Demuth
