Her current focus is on illustrations, prints, comics, zines and handmade books. Marlene’s books and zines have been retained in special collections archives nationally and internationally. In 2021, her short-run publication, Ho Sun Hing Printers, received an honourable mention from the City of Vancouver Book Awards program.
