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
