Where Creativity Roams Free: A JMarlene Portfolio

Raised amidst the lush tropical jungles of Zambia, my childhood was a wild symphony of tree-climbing escapades, mud-covered adventures, and an untamed spirit. Those formative years, with their vibrant sounds, intoxicating smells, and kaleidoscope of colours, now serve as the bedrock of my artistic expression and storytelling.

Within the first five minutes of our encounter, it becomes apparent how deeply Africa has shaped my identity; I can’t help but share the profound impact it has had on my life and creativity.

Blessed with parents who nurtured a spirit of adventure, I was encouraged to push boundaries while always prioritising safety. This ethos propelled me across the globe, allowing me to experience life on five continents before finding my cherished home amid the enchanting highlands of Scotland.

Through this portfolio, I invite you into my world-a place where nature and memory meet, where each image and brush stroke conveys not only a visual but an emotional truth. This collection represents more than scenes and landscapes; it is a journey through the places and moments that have left indelible marks on my soul. From the wild expanses of Africa and Australia to the mist-laden hills of Scotland, each piece is a testament to the places I’ve loved and the endless beauty I see through my lens and on my canvas.

This is my first print edition, a chance to showcase what I love, and, above all, an invitation to see the world as I do.
