New York-trained artist Carolyn Marx creates unique, abstract works born from a multi-layered process. Using acrylic paint, found objects, and gels on glass panels, she photographs the ephemeral compositions before they are destroyed.

Her innovative technique, which uses light and superimposition without digital modification, produces one-of-a-kind pieces. The final artwork is a high-resolution photograph of the transient painting, printed as a pigmented ink image on Hahnemuhle etching paper or exhibition matte canvas. Marx's work has been recognized with awards from Art Center Manatee and Camelback Gallery and featured in SRQ Magazine. She has exhibited in solo and group shows in New York City and Florida, including the Downtown Sarasota Festival of the Arts. Her art is held in private collections throughout the U.S. and she is an artist partner with Turning Art and Loupe Art.
