Marilyn Laba is a lighthearted and comedically minded mixed-media artist based out of Kings Mills, Ohio. She specializes in themes of ethereal beauty, the duality of a subject, and the vibrant colors and textures that underscore the mundane. As an art instructor, she utilizes humor and interpersonal connection to entertain and motivate novices and fellow artists alike, creating a casual and warm environment. When she isn't honing her craft, she finds joy in spending time with her husband and two young children in nature or simply singing and dancing through their kitchen. If you're as interested in meeting her as she is in meeting you, please book a private event and request her directly to get the party started!
