(Figures at the River & A Requiem for Sylvia Plath’s ‘Mushrooms’) Photo Credit |Marilyn Brown (born 1962 in Brazil, Indiana) is deeply inspired by the southwestern landscape. Her presentation shown in her photography comes through when she remembers that which gives her life (our earth and sky). She is aware that in this high-speed world many people have become unaware of what supports and sustains them. Her intent is to create a medium where all can engage.
