Marbie
Biography
Marbie is an artist and professional skateboarder from a small town in Iowa, based in Oakland, California. Her work focuses on her inner life and the characters who compose it, using a unique collage style to express her intense feelings of yearning, solitude, intimacy, and affection that make up her identity. These characters and their dream-like environments manifest as vivid colors, robust shapes, and wavy twisting lines, rooted in real-life relationships that are central to the artist's practice. Marbie's flat works use symbols like the moon or orbs with a distinct cut-out look to represent someone or something watching over or orbiting the artist, reflecting on how time passes differently in the silence of solitude or the ebullience of love.
