Self-Portrait

Marion Wilson has 20 years of socially engaged public art projects linking communities through intimate gestures of drawing, mood-gazing, moss collections and larger partnerships up-cycling mobile architectures, community gardens or city block sized painted murals.

In 2016 Wilson pivoted towards her first language - painting - and more recently experimental watercolors. Wilson tests the units of painting (glazing, light and chroma) by painting on translucent sheets of mylar, black watercolor paper and photographs. Wilson, through all of her work, is measuring and mindful of her footprint both psychologically and environmentally in our world.
