    Her unique work draws admiration from all.  Many of the latest pieces are extremely textured incorporating PVA glue, paste and gravel mixed with acrylic paint to feature the growth on pylons supporting the piers in Port Phillip Bay on the Mornington Peninsula where she lives. Embroidered motifs such as the weedy and leafy seadragons are worked on a soluble fabric that is washed away, or depicted in painted and burnt organzas which are then stitched by hand onto the background canvas. Some of the original pieces are difficult to mail owing to the extremely textured areas, but in exceptional cases an original can be custom packaged for transporting, please contact Marilyn by email for details.

She would like to acknowledge the generosity of Freddie Leong, underwater photographer, in sharing his remarkable photographs for inspiration.
