Marano holds a B.F.A. from Pratt Institute and is a master of papier collé, the elegant cut paper technique she learned as a studio assistant to preeminent artist Robert Indiana. With paper as her palette and an X-ACTO knife as her rendering instrument, Marano's graphic distillations capture the beauty she finds in unnoticed spaces and in out of the way places. The iconic architecture of the rides, signs, attractions, and other forms of urban and popular culture are perfectly suited for her practice. Free docent-guided tours of the permanent exhibit of Sarasota Colony artists and Highwaymen works at 3:00 pm.
