Turn a stone, nature leaves its imprint.

For me as an artist I am constantly inspired with what I see everyday in the natural world, whether this be flora and fauna, old discarded buildings, shadows or raindrops. 
It is these, delicate subtle marks that embody my work.

Artist Books have become an important part of my fine art language; they enable me to express my work as a metaphor for the written page.


Mine Sky


Towards Heaven

The old mine, I see echoed in the trees........one man made the other natural.


Shadows


The Framed View

I see inspiration in the shadows, the old arches that frame a view.






The old arch window of the mine becomes the inspiration for mark making.


Lichen on rocks


Stones under the water


Beautiful marks and textures are abstracted.


Wax on tissue stitch








So dear friends what inspires you? I would love to hear from you.

Love Marilyn.

    Much as for you, Marilyn, are my inspirations. The world around me, particularly in moments of silence. Shapes and colours, and words that flow from what I see. Old textiles, papers and old books, but I lack your fine-art approach to bind them all together. (I just love your latest post; inspirational, willing me to try new things.)

    Textures. The environment. Sometimes, I wonder if it's just me seeing the small things that catch my eye. I am thankful to have the time to notice, and that I turn trains you to look for more. I love it all...there's so much to see outdoors, I don't want to miss a thing! Love your tutorials, Marilyn!
