Echoes of Wonder: Paintings & Sculpture by Marilyn Jolly and Larry Graeber

This exhibition features paintings, sculpture and mixed media works by Texas artists Larry Graeber and Marilyn Jolly.

Both have an affinity for found and salvaged materials and an interest in the associations those materials suggest. They also share a clear sense of play and improvisation in their work balanced by their use of structure, pattern, repetition and a method of curious investigation that finds the answer in the process. Marilyn and Larry each approach their individual artistic practices from different life perspectives, but they are connected through a shared love of mixed media, structure and color and a common historical time frame.

Marilyn Jolly lives and works in Dallas.  She retired from her position as an associate professor of painting and painting area coordinator at University of Texas at Arlington in 2018 where she taught for 22 years. Larry Graeber is a multifaceted artist who has dedicated his career to exploring the intersections of painting, sculpture and personal perspective. He has studios in both San Antonio and Marfa.
