These are charming, and lovely fresh images. I’m looking forward to seeing what scale they are at the jamboree.

As a collage artist, I am tossing multi-colored bits of paper confetti at Marion. Her work is so refreshing, descriptive, and heartfelt. I was not familiar with some of these mythic characters
(forgive a hapless American………) but was so glad to be introduced to them, via her work.
She is a gem, indeed.

Greetings from Boston,

GA, thank you for featuring Marion folk collages, so colorful and whimsical. I had to check out the meaning of Lammas Day – “This observance, traditionally observed on August 1, marked the beginning of the harvest, and especially celebrated the first wheat crop, or that of corn.”

Marion explains, “I like collage because it offers me freedom to move all the elements around until I feel that the design looks right.” Reminds me of what Matisse had said of his cutouts, quoted in that wonderful show of his at the Tate Modern a few years back.

These are fabulous and so uplifting! For those of us who are unable to come to the Jamboree, where can I buy Marian’s work, please?

These paper collages have an incredible graphic effect. The “Prepare ye to meet thy God” cups are great! Also the reference to the slightly hidden German-French friendship (accordion HOHNER).

By the way, a wonderful representative of the paper collage technique is ERIC CARLE, who died this year:
