Marilyn Mercer

Marilyn Mercer Biography

Marilyn Mercer was born and raised in the Hamlet of Bissett Creek, Ontario beside the majestic Ottawa River in the shadow of the Laurentian Mountains. Marilyn spent many years living in the Ottawa Valley where she became the supervisor of a printing facility. She discovered her latent artistic talent as a second and fun career. During her retirement she moved to the Kawartha Lakes District where she spends most of her time doing what she loves most – painting.

Marilyn is a “signature member” of the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour and has studied extensively in workshops and on painting trips in Canada, Great Britain, France, Mexico and the U.S. Her style and ability to interpret what she sees, hears, and feels in her painting style is uniquely her own.

She has exhibited throughout Canada, the U.S., and France and is a valued member of various art associations and societies. Many local charities have benefited in their fund raising efforts by a freely donated Mercer painting.

The Gallery on the Lake is very pleased to exhibit Marilyn‘s work..
