This mixed media piece is inspired by a picture that my friend Kim took while walking the Back Bay in Newport Beach California. Once she showed me the photo, I HAD to paint this magnificent blue heron. Painted in acrylic, dimes and pennies are used to make the body as well as clay and push pins. Red metal leafing accentuate the street sign, as well as a touch of different color leafing on the beak. The piece is covered in epoxy resin infused with micro glitter. A common question I get is: "How much money did you use in making this piece?" The answer is: "I don't want to know, as these birds are priceless to me! That is the point of incorporating common currency into the piece, to make you, the viewer, question the value of wildlife. Presented in a black floating frame, it is wired and ready to adorn your wall.

Marie has always been an artist at heart, captivated by the world of colors and shapes. During her High School years in Quebec City, Canada, she found ways to indulge her passion for painting. Attending the Sylvia Araya Painting Academy at night, she honed her skills and learned to see beyond mere aesthetics. It was her pursuit of a career that took her away from her beloved hometown. Marie set her sights on Toronto, Canada and enrolled at George Brown College and graduated with a Goldsmith degree. After a career in the Jewelry industry spanning from Toronto to Boston to Southern California, she resurrected her paint brushes and poured her talent, time and energy into her artwork. It was then that metal became a crucial element in her creative expression, evident through her skillful use of gold or copper leafing and the incorporation of metal objects in mixed media creations. Today, Marie is a respected artist in Southern California. She actively participates in prestigious juried art shows, showcasing her extraordinary talent to discerning audiences at events like the Beverly Hills Art Show, Art Walk Liberty Station, and many more. Marie's journey as an artist is a testament to her unwavering passion and dedication. As she continues to pursue her artistic endeavors, she creates a rich tapestry of visual delight that captivates and inspires all who encounter her work.
