Thank you for visiting my website.
I make art as a visual record of my life, thoughts and feelings with inspiration from the beauty of the natural world. My art begins with painting and surface design on paper and textiles. Ideas emerge from the papers and textiles I create. I work intuitively as pieces evolve, without a plan, but within loose parameters that are subject to revision as the design progresses. I approach my designs by acting and responding, unbound by constraints of “should” and “shouldn’t”. I use a wide range of materials and techniques – whatever works to translate my ideas to the art I am making.
If you would like to contact me about my art you may reach me by email at marilyngillis@gmail.com
