is a mixed-media artist from Phillipsburg, New Jersey (USA).
Maryann's artist books and collages convey a visual narrative through the book structure to remind one of the past and journeys through which we all travel throughout our lives. Her works incorporate digital images, Victorian iconography and other symbols to convey a sense of memory and time as one opens and unfolds the works.
Recent pieces deal with the later works of Emily Dickinson. As she aged, it is believed Dickinson became an agoraphobic, sometimes keeping to her room for days and never leaving the house. Dickinson created through her writing mental and emotional worlds through which she spiritually journeyed.
Maryann's works have been exhibited throughout the Lehigh Valley, New York City and Philadelphia PA, and are included in many private and public collections.
