For Houston artist Marilyn Biles, art-making is a spiritual practice. Marilyn works in a quiet and meditative state to jumpstart her mind, then lets intuition determine - through spontaneous and automatic gestures - the size, shape and colors of the work. These interacting forms of oil, pastel, and mixed media create a complex and vibrant visual account of ideas and emotions.

For more than 50 years, The Jung Center has served as a nonprofit resource offering dynamic and compelling classes – “continuing education for the human spirit” – on a diverse range of psychological, artistic, and intellectual topics.

The Jung Center’s building was originally designed as an art gallery and mounts approximately nine exhibits of work by both established and emerging artists each year. The Jung Center is an active member of the Houston Museum District. Admission to the gallery and opening receptions is free and open to the public.

This exhibit will be on display October 2-29, with an opening reception on Saturday, October 3.
