Marleigh first fell in love with art at the age of six, when she lived in Holland and visited the Van Gogh Museum. She sat on the museum floor, and would just stare at his paintings in awe wanting to recreate her favorites of his. Now, more than two decades later, Marleigh is creating her own art pieces.

Being a major advocate for mental health, Marleigh started painting to help with her anxiety and depression. Not only has it helped ease her mind in moments of stress, but painting has now become a passion.

-"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and. minds through Christ Jesus."- Philippians 4:6-7
