Marlow's Art

Our very own Marlow Stainfield, has published a collection of his artworks in a series of books. Signed copies of the 4 volumes are now available to buy at the clubhouse.

This collection includes watercolours painted by Marlow between 2019-2021 in both the UK and here in Ottawa.

-Cakes & Drinks

-Boats & Flora

-Personae

-Real & Imaginary

Marlow’s work is somewhat influenced by his late father, Québécois artist, Sylvain P. Cousineau’s work. He enjoys many of the same motifs, techniques, and humour.

Marlow’s pieces, although light and whimsical, are grounded with an air of gravitas. His own flair and a certain “joie de vivre” that is guaranteed to raise a smile.
