Living Spirits Exhibits

Living Spirits dwell in everything from the trees and plants to the buildings to the very air you breathe. Marleen Hoffman’s work is on multiple surfaces that can be canvas, gourds, wood, and walls, plus any other surface that will hold still. She uses a variety of techniques and materials to make her paintings, photographs, sculptures, and wood carving including paints, dyes, inks, fabrics, clay, wood burning, weaving, beading, paper, and glue; plus any other embellishment that will do the job in bringing her work alive.

Her subjects range from her well known landscape and barn paintings to gourd stores, spirit figures, cats, wolves, and other animals; with some dressed to the nines and some with their drums or other instruments.
