Marla Bender uses bold colors and expressive forms to infuse everyday spaces with personality and vibrancy. Rooted in acrylics and expanded through wood and clay, her work blends color, character, and purpose. From paintings to functional objects, her art invites joy, transformation, and meaningful connection.
My studio is in the upper level of my home and includes an area for canvas painting, an area for tile painting and epoxy application, and a room for supplies.
My main focus of art is in acrylic painting, both on canvas and on reclaimed tile.
