“I first viewed Marine Strage’s artwork up-close at an exhibition in Tiburon, where we both live. I was particularly struck by the dynamic movement in her landscapes of the sea, particularly (the work in the lobby at TPC). Her work contains a juxtaposition of intense emotion and peaceful resolve that really brings you into the painting and takes you to a different realm. I asked Marine to create a painting that represented the entity of new love that is at once beautifully raptures and painfully chaotic. I could not have been more happy with what she created. I now have it in a space that I can see it each day and I am often still mesmerized by how perfectly she portrayed the feelings I asked her to represent in the work I commissioned. It is utterly gorgeous and so moving. Marine is a very dear friend of mine but our relationship has just begun to grow when I asked her to make this art piece for me so I can honestly say that her work is so impressive. She is very conscientious about her work and is very passionate about colors and the emotions behind them.”
