Marilyn Simandle has always known that she would become an artist. Learning from her mother, a musician and painter in her own right, Simandle started painting watercolors at age 6. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from San Jose State University. Simandle went on to share her developed knowledge and incredible talent by teaching art for over 15 years and conducting workshops throughout California and the Scottsdale Artists' School. A native Californian, she now resides in the Santa Ynez Valley with her husband, Ted Goerschner, who is also an artist, where she explores all her passions: painting, gardening, playing bridge and horseback riding. In her paintings, Simandle tries to convey her own philosophy of art. She loves to explore the complex interplay of light and its effects on architecture and surroundings. An avid traveler and photographer, Marilyn uses her own photographs simply as the starting point, an inspiration. While striving for truth in her paintings, she believes that "perfection is the enemy of great art." A single brush stroke can speak volumes in a painting. Simandle is inspired and influenced by the poetry in the brush strokes of John Singer Sargent and Joaquin Sorolla.
