Artist Demonstration with Marilyn Henrion
Chat with Marilyn Henrion, First Prize Winner of Fresh Ideas 2025, as she demonstrates the creative process that goes into her hand quilted mixed media works. You will have an opportunity to see the labor-intensive work that can only be fully appreciated by a look at the BACK of the works.
“The innovative fusion of traditional hand quilting and contemporary digital technology reflects my lifelong passion for both craft and concept. Grounded in photography—urban landscapes, architectural forms, the natural world- images are digitally manipulated and transformed into evocative quilted artworks. Whether abstract or representational, each piece is a tactile meditation on memory, place, and perception.”
The artist’s works are included in museums, corporate, government and private collections throughout the world. She is also represented in the Smithsonian Institution’s Archives of American Art. As the winner of Fresh Ideas 2025, Marilyn will have a solo exhibition in the Lewisville Grand Theater Art Gallery in the Summer of 2026 where visitors will be able to see dozens of her works all together.
