Tree on Brewster Flats by Marleen Nienhuis

Marleen Nienhuis has painted and taken workshops and classes since 1968 at, among other places, the Art Students League in New York City, Castle Hill in Truro, the Fine Arts Workshop, PAAM, the Cape School of Art in Provincetown and, most recently, at Artistree in South Pomfret, VT. 

In between, she raised a child, served as a director on various boards, and was a community volunteer for urban parks and libraries. She lives in downtown Boston and in Barnard, VT.

She feels that each art class and workshop was valuable for different reasons but studying how light affects our world with the passionate artist/teachers  at the Cape School of Art was the most illuminating, so to speak.
