I tend to see the world in a stylistic fashion. Meaningless detail disappears for me as I concentrate on things that exude emotion. Though I tend to focus on life's most beautiful aspects, such as the female form, I try not to forget the importance of things such as pain, struggle and tragedy, which perhaps express the gift of life with an even higher beauty. I began taking serious black and white photographs in the late 1970's, exhibiting some of my work in the early 80's. The next twenty-five years was filled with a variety of experiences including taking up painting. I have never put my camera down for long and have enjoyed the transition to the world of digital.Most my digital images carry no name and are refered to just by their Exhibit/Group name. This is an expression of the digital medium and nameless images serve as a means for the viewer to make their own interpretation.

Luminosity is the greatest goal in the work of Marian Dunn, no matter in what media. She is well known for her luminous watercolors and currently is much enjoying working with acrylic and oil. Individual paintings might show her responses to impressions of an object's contour; a single figure; people at work or at play; the interplay of light and shadow on an object, in a landscape or a still life. Being a colorist, her work is often high-key and cheerful. Being an impressionist her paintings, while essentially representative, are approached from an abstract perspective.
