It has been an honor to work with Ed Olsen on his vision to celebrate Marilyn with this website. He shared so many photographs, over one hundred original artworks, and heartfelt stories. I invite their family and friends to contribute to this site with more images and life events by using the form on this page.

Though I never met Marilyn, I have seen her art. I am drawn to her abstract landscape pieces inspired by the desert-southwest. Her use of color, shape, and composition is dynamic. The last time I was in Arizona, I hiked in the hills at sunrise and sunset when it was cooler and the colors of the sky and landscape would change. For me, Marilyn’s pieces capture the essence of what I experienced.
