About the Artist:
Painting since a child in southern Virginia, Marilyn Gates-Davis has over 40 years and counting as an artist and graphic designer. She has been designing magazines, books, and print materials in the Washington, DC metro area for most of that time. She is a figurative artist that typically paints intimate portraits of family, the black culture, as well as iconic figures. 
To counteract negative stereotypes, she chooses to depict the joy of the black culture through her paintings. Marilyn paints images that celebrate grace, strength, dignity and love of black people, often utilizing her art to share personal stories and childhood memories. 
Marilyn paints primarily in acrylics and oils. She also creates collage work using cut paper, acrylic paint and other organic textured materials. While there is much diversity in her work, her goal is to take the everyday images and life experiences and elevate them to tell stories that connect us all.
