Marlene Meijer-van Niekerk, known worldwide as Art by Marlene, is an illustrator with a bold, instantly recognizable style that embraces color, contrast, and creative “chaos.” In collaboration with Studio Light, she has built a universe of collections that transform every project into an artistic playground.
Her signature large, expressive faces, vibrant palettes, and layered elements are not just embellishments — they are focal points. They make a statement. They invite you to experiment, to layer fearlessly, and to let your work develop a strong personality of its own.
If you love art journaling, collage, layering, and mixed media with character, Art by Marlene doesn’t just offer supplies — she offers creative freedom.
