Marilyn Simandle has
always known that she would become an artist. Learning from her
mother, a musician and painter in her own right, Simandle started
painting watercolors at age 6. She received her Bachelor of Fine
Arts Degree from San Jose State University. Simandle went on to
share her developed knowledge and incredible talent by teaching art
and conducting workshops throughout California and at the Scottsdale
Artists' School for the past 15 years. A native Californian, she now
resides in the Santa Ynez Valley with her husband, Ted Goerschner,
also an artist, where she explores all her passions: painting,
gardening, playing bridge, and horseback riding.
In her paintings, Simandle tries to convey her own personal
philosophy of art. She loves to explore the complex interplay of
light and its effects on architecture and surroundings. An avid
traveler and photographer, Marilyn uses her photographs simply as
the starting point, an inspiration. In her composition, she paints
what she wants the subject matter to be, engaging collectors with
uplifting paintings filled with harmonious color, depth and
vitality. While striving for truth in her paintings she does believe
that "perfection is the enemy of great art." A single brush stroke
can speak volumes in a painting. Simandle is inspired and influenced
by the poetry in the brush strokes of John Singer Sargent and
Joaquin Sorolla.
