Carolyn Marx is a fine artist and educator with a career spanning since 1975. A graduate of Parsons School of Design and Hunter College, she draws inspiration from nature, color theory, and chaos theory. Her mixed-media work often starts with drawings to capture the movement of living things, a quality she maintains as the work evolves.

Marx's process is highly innovative. She uses acrylic paint, found objects, gels, and more on layered glass panels. She layers, scrapes, draws, and sprays the media, then experiments with light sources to create desired patterns. The final composition is photographed with a high-resolution camera, and this unedited photograph becomes the unique work of art.
