Marion Adler
Marion Adler is an award winning lyricist and actor, known to many for her number of seasons at the Stratford Festival. She has called Stratford her home for a number of years and her friends and acquaintances know her as a woman of many talents. Marion is also an artist whose work in graphite are highly skilled, beautifully rendered portraits taken from old family photos. She has also recently been producing origami birds that she hand paints in intricate patterns, each one different from the other, a little gem in its own right. In the last few months Marion has turned her hand to a different medium, hand tinting photos of flowers. Each photo started as one of Marion's coloured photos of flowers from her garden or from the florist shop. She has the photo reproduced in black and white and printed on a paper that allows for colour to be added and then hand tints the photo with watercolour and in some cases coloured pencil. The hand tinting allows for a softer rendering of the colours and in some cases a slight change of colour where she feels she wants it. The results are beautiful botanical studies.
