Marlena Wyman
I am an artist residing in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. My art focus is early prairie settler women, whose stories are under-represented in mainstream history.

Inspired by Cecily Jepson Hepworth’s diary:
"April 15, 1931. Miserable weather, eating soil.
April 10, 1934: Another terrible dust storm, just eating grit, terrible weather."
Cecily came to the Readlyn, Saskatchewan area from Chorley, Lancashire, England in 1916.
