I believe that art is more than something you hang on a wall; it's a way to bring hope, joy, and life into any space 

My name is Marlene Steele, and for over 3 decades, I've painted everything from canvas to salvage furniture, blending vibrant colors and layering textures that celebrate the beauty of imperfection. 

My studio, located in Dayton, Ohio's Front Street Artist community, is where old things are given new purpose and where people learn to trust their own creative voice.  

When you collect my art, you're bringing home a piece that is made to matter - handcrafted, deeply personal, and designed to uplift. 

​You’re invited to explore my current work or visit me in the studio to experience it in person.
