Marlie Burton-Roche, a Canadian visual artist and political activist, worked
for many years in solidarity with the popular movement of El Salvador. Much
of her art is reflective of that period – what she calls “the nightmare
of history in the making” but when asked to delineate her current artwork,
she prefers to describe it as “soundless declamation.”
Marlie was born and raised in rural Alberta, educated in Toronto and has spent
time in the Middle East and Latin America. Her paintings have been exhibited
in Canada, the U.S.A., and in Europe. She has artwork in private and public
collections in Canada, Israel, India, Britain and France
