About Gwen

Gwen Marx is a self-taught Canadian artist based in Ottawa with a passion for coloured pencils. 

From an early age, art has been an important source of comfort and creative expression in her life. Deeply inspired by animals and nature—especially horses—she strives to capture the spirit and emotion of wildlife, often through the depth and honesty reflected in their eyes.

With every stroke of coloured pencil, Gwen seeks to honour the tender, fragile essence of the natural world. Her artworks invite viewers into a moment of stillness, where the soul of each creature quietly speaks.
