Brigid Marlin
Brigid Marlin was born in Washington, D.C. and trained in the National College of Art in Dublin,
the Centre d’Art Sacre in Paris, the Beaux-Arts in Montreal and the Art Students League in New York.
She now lives and works in England.
After learning the ‘Mische technique’, embodying the secrets of the Italian Renaissance Masters,
in Vienna from Professor Ernst Fuchs, she began exhibiting her work around the world.
She has painted portraits of the Queen Mother, the Dalai Lama, Lord Longford, Cardinal George of Chicago
and Fr. Garanzini, President of Loyola University. Her portrait of J.G. Ballard hangs in the National Portrait
Gallery, London, and the portrait of Lord Longford in the House of Lords. In 1999 the BBC acquired
the portrait of one of its founders, Cecil Lewis, to hang in the Boardroom of the Directors at Bush House.
She is also represented in the new Phantasten Museum in Vienna.
In 1961, she founded the ‘Inscape Group’ of imaginative artists in England, which officially changed
its name to “The Society for Art of the Imagination” in 1998. It is now an American Charity and
holds major open exhibitions around the world. Brigid Marlin is founder and director of the society.
