About Beach Paths

The Beach Paths series celebrates the wildness of the many enchanting paths connecting Anna Maria Island’s neighborhoods to the Gulf beaches. A simple unpaved path through wildness leads us to deeper sensations and feelings than those evoked by landscape design. The randomness of native and exotic overgrowth invites us to look more closely, to explore the rich details of a particular path. In a few steps, we feel we have traveled a great distance, almost forgetting our destination. Then, from the intimacy of the path, we emerge … to feel the vast openness of sand, sea and sky.

In addition to the original collages, signed limited-edition fine art giclée prints are available on archival mounting board, with conservation-grade mats. The dimensions of both the original collages and the giclée images are 10.5 by 13.5 inches.

About the Artist

Maro Lorimer grew up in Bellport, a waterfront village on the south shore of eastern Long Island. Her father, a nuclear physicist at Brookhaven National Laboratory, studied painting with Gertrude Quastler and sold many of his watercolors of local scenes. Influenced by her father’s enthusiasm for Quastler’s approach to art, Maro started sketching and painting at a young age. She first studied watercolor painting in the 1990s with Denver artist Rita Derjue. Acceptance into juried exhibits led to her membership in the Colorado Watercolor Society.
