September 2022 Artist Demo: Marilyn Zimmer

Mixed media piece by Marilyn Zinner

Marilyn Zimmer, our September presenter, states that becoming and being an avid re-cycler and re-purposer brought her to the mixed media world of art. Marilyn earned a Master’s Degree in Arts and Consciousness at John F Kennedy University where she previously completed her Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Arts.  She followed this with post masters work in Art Therapy at the University of California, Berkeley. Among her various experiences in the arts, she has served as the art director for a Boys and Girls Club in San Francisco, taught art for women at a half way house in Oakland, and worked with art students for a charter school in Modesto.  Her hands-on event drew 20 participants who shared a wide range of materials to make mixed media pieces.  We sure did have fun; many thanks to Marilyn for this great presentation!
