Marilyn Prescott’s current series flows from her long solitary walks and hikes along the Fox River. She describes herself as “the supervisor of accidents”-developing imagery intuitively, by responding to evolving colors, shapes, textures in acrylic paint and mixed media. The artist says of her work, “I don’t make vistas. I don’t want an appreciative distancing. I want you to come close, to get dirt under your nails. I want you to walk along with me; to join me in willful immersion into a natural world that may be time limited." Marilyn Prescott has a BA from California State University at Long Beach, and graduate work at California State University at Fullerton and the University of California at Irvine. She has exhibited nationally and her work is in significant institutional and corporate collections across the US. She moved to NE Wisconsin in 2023.
