A global citizen based in São Paulo, Brazil, Marilyn embodies the philosophy of living life artfully through her paintings, writing, and art classes. Whether Marilyn is painting with brushes or words, her artistic eye, gift of communication, and zest for life make for an inspiring combination reflected in her notoriety as an artist, her in-demand journalism, and her students' success. Marilyn Diggs is a member of the São Paul Association of Fine Arts and has won numerous awards. No stranger to international exhibitions, she has represented Brazil in France with three solo art shows in 2002-2005 and at galleries in the popular New York City neighborhood of SOHO. Marilyn's paintings are in private collections worldwide. With a Master's Degree from Purdue University in Spanish Literature and Latin American Area Studies, more than 30 years of overseas living, and extensive travel, Marilyn's articles go beyond just sharing travel experiences - she provides important insights towards a better understanding and appreciation of topics. Inspired by studies of contemporary realist artists, as well as the Old Masters, Marilyn passes her knowledge and experience of 50 years to her art students. An innate teacher, she instructs techniques learned in the Fetching Art Institute (Taos, New Mexico), the Valdes Art School (Santa Fe, New Mexico), Panamerican School of Art (São Paulo, Brazil), as well as from private teachers during her career. Award-winning artist with paintings in major museum collections, published author and illustrator of art books and museum guides, and accomplished travel writer, Marilyn Diggs is passionate about highlighting the beauty of life through art and education.
