Statement

  I work out of my home studio near the ocean in James Bay, and am   influenced and inspired by my surroundings and the global art   community.   Collage is a passion, and I use Japanese, Nepalese and Italian   papers, recycled and found papers, ink, watercolour, graphite, and   occasionally incorporate other materials such as buttons, cloth, etc.   I enjoy illustration, working mainly with ink, graphite, acrylic,   gouache and watercolour on rag paper.   I also repurpose materials such as ceramic tiles, shards, beads,   buttons, shells, feathers, driftwood, paper, jewellery, and other   found and/or new objects to make assemblages.   My artwork can be viewed on www.mariannegoodrich.com as well   as on Instagram: @mariannegoodrich1650. I can be contacted by landline (250) 386-9409 or by email   mariannegoodrich@telus.net.
