Marilyn Charpentier was born in France and immigrated to Canada and made Ottawa her home. She always loved drawing and turned to painting. Marilyn is mostly a self-taught artist who took courses to improve her talent. Her search for inspiration has been influenced by her travels, hiking, camping and canoeing. She carries a sketchbook and paint supplies with her when camping. She finds that nature can be magical and she want to bring that raw natural beauty into her paintings.

Marilyn joined Art in the Neighbourhood in 2024.
