Marilla Palmer Drawings and Watercolor Paintings

American, b. 1955

Marilla Palmer is a twist on the traditional Victorian botanical drawing, delicately painted with watercolor and collaged with pressed flowers and glitter. There is an inextricable connection between nature and the work of Palmer in inspiration, process and concept. Palmer lives and works in Brooklyn, New York and has been shown extensively throughout the United States. Her work has been exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Carlsbad Museum and Art Center and MoMA PS1, among other galleries and institutions. She received her BFA from the Philadelphia College of Art.
