Art Photography by Marie Craig featuring lampwork glass by Liliana Glenn

This calendar is a result of my collaboration with Marie Picard Craig - a Natick artist photographer. She's been working with me on my tutorials and occasionally photographing my work for a couple of years now.

Marie's talent and skill, in addition to conversations we have regularly while walking on Walnut Hill here in Natick, nurtured and fueled her interest to incorporate photographs of my beads into her photos of nature. The end-result is a combination of beauty and subtlety about the origins of ideas and their artistic reincarnations.

According to Marie,

At first I thought simply that Liliana's beads were a manifestation of nature and I was returning them to their natural environment photographically -coming full circle. But it goes beyond that. I don't always put them back where she found them - the relationship is more of a spiral than a circle. Liliana draws from her experience of the natural world. I see her work and take the idea to a different place.

We are currently working on a book. In the meantime, we published a calendar to - we hope - tease your interest and get you excited about our collaborative work.
