A new work finished.... Dear God make me a bird, so I could fly far. Far, far away......
About Me
- Wan Marsh
- I am a green artist!! I’ve been one all along, before it was cool or trendy –it just took me awhile to realize it! Growing up in the South, I was taught to be thrifty and frugal. Nothing was discarded if it had even an ounce of life left. Clothes, tools and toys were passed down; we even saved foil and rubber bands! I am to this day unable to be wasteful, perhaps explaining my reluctance to take anything to the trash. When I discovered Mixed Media Collage as an art form I knew I had found my calling, an outlet for my creativity and a purpose for all my “found and saved” objects. Through collage I have the opportunity to transform the mundane into the sublime, the discarded into the collectable, and the unappreciated, tossed aside parts of life into beauty. I see art in almost any object. When my trash becomes art the transformation is magic. Green magic! I look at trash and see possibilities - I guess this makes me an optimist. All I know is when I am in my studio creating my art, time stands still - I guess that makes me an artist. There I said it. Please look at my work and smile...That is why I do it
