Marlie Burton-Roche, a Canadian visual artist and political activist, works in solidarity with the revolutionary social movement in El Salvador. Her art represents a merging of a very private career with what she calls "the nightmare of history in the making." Twice during the war years she was captured and detained by the Salvadoran military. Her current artwork, a series called "I Have Heard the Red Horses," represents what Marlie calls "the radical unconscious"-a reconciling of unity and diversity that reflects the contemporary need to create a conscience. Aspects of past horrors are still evidenced in these recent works but the past is evoked in a juxtaposition that illuminates the present. "The political situation in El Salvador becomes a symbol of the current unconsummated moment, highlighting our apprehension of reality but at the same time strengthening our sympathy for our fellow man."

Marlie's paintings have been exhibited across Canada, in the U.S.A., and in Europe. She has artworks in public and private collections in Canada, Israel, India, Britain and France.
