Painting is oil and stone brushing with the past and spreading into the future. Oils last for centuries and these timeless elements come through in the still life work. The serenity and strength of these paintings endures from our time and stretches forward into our childrens' and grandchildrens' time. The inclusion of hidden figures is a fine twist on tradition; look for the nude figures within the pears and apples.

Marlan Cotner is an award-winning artist from West Michigan represented
in numerous solo shows in Michigan and Ohio. She exhibited in local and
regional competitions and her works are included in the collections of
Governor Blanchard, Governor Engler, and James Brooks. Her art has won
awards in the Michigan Fine Arts Competition in Birmingham/Bloomfield,
the Mid-Michigan Competition in St. Joseph, the Western Michigan
Competition in Holland, the Small Wonders Competition in Lansing, and
numerous others. She is a published artist with over two hundred

There is also a lighter side to this artist with her food and drink
series. A woman propped up against a wedge of chocolate cake or a man
draped around a glass of red wine, these are sure to please all. Perhaps
the golf series has appeal to your sporty side with a man carrying a
"golf bag" of olives back to the clubhouse or giant martini glasses on
the Nineteenth Hole.
