Marilyn Chen is an Atlanta based artist and curator.  She studied painting at the Atlanta College of Art and then transferred to SCAD-Atlanta in 2006, when the two schools merged.   Continuing the ACA curriculum allowed her to pursue photography as well as painting, which soon earned her the Forward Arts Foundation Scholarship.  Marilyn is interested in issues that revolve around women, addiction, sexuality, violence, and dream psychology through the medium of painting, photography, installation and alternative media.  As Art Director of The Connector, the SCAD-Atlanta student run newspaper, Marilyn received an award for Student Leadership as well as the “Best Performer Under Pressure Award.”  During her years at SCAD, Marilyn’s work has been exhibited at Eyedrum, MOCA, MODA, The High Museum, as well as various alternative art spaces.  Additionally, Marilyn is co-founder and on the board of directors of the non-profit organization, MINT Inc, Atlanta, Ga.  Mint is dedicated to providing a networking conduit for Georgia’s art communities including established and emerging artists. 

I love photography.  Im always up for a challenge. I am in interested in issues that revolve around women, addiction, sex, violence, and the imagery found in dreams.  I like high fashion and fine art.  And.. I am available for test shoots. 

Looking for hair stylist and make up artists to work on upcoming shoots.  Available for creative projects and interested in hearing your ideas. 

Greatness is a transitory experience. It is never consistent. It depends in part upon the myth-making imagination of humankind. The person who experiences greatness must have a feeling for the myth he is in.
