Artist Bio
Marilyn K. Fuller, at 81, raised in rural Indiana, defies convention, emerging as a dark horse whose art bridges timeless craftsmanship with vision to embrace digital inevitability. This Floridian retired nurse turned creator transforms humble materials into captivating altered frame art. Her process, charmingly described as 'just gluing things together,' reveals a sophisticated eye for design, drawing inspiration from nature’s palette—flowers, birds, the ocean, and perfect hues of green, blue, and pink. Signature elements like abalone, mother-of-pearl, jewelry, and intricate beads frequently grace her pieces, reflecting a lifetime of cultivated artistic sensibility.
Marilyn's art, guided by philosophies of love always and embracing failure, employs 'the power of threes', the reflective role of light, and 'pay it forward' resilience, proving that 'to create is the win' at any age, positioning her as a visionary poised for indelible impact.
