Both artists create from an intuitive place, patiently crafting their individual medium until an oft-elusive sense of balance is achieved.

Marianne’s love for photography began with her dad’s Kodak Instamatic, family photos, and slideshows. A post-college IRS windfall enabled her to purchase her first camera, a Pentax K1000, with which she explored black and white candid images and cityscapes.

Marianne will be working on December 1st and 16th so stop by for a visit and…
