I am a passionate mixed media fiber artist and photographer inspired by nature and global travel. My intention in creating art is to share my personal vision and engage the viewer while transported to a special moment in time. “1000 words” was captured through the lens while walking in Lisbon Portugal. The graffiti and newsprint became my muse as I contemplated the phrase, “A picture is worth 1000 words”… “Though we travel the world to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
Mary-Ellen Latino studied photography at Univ. Of Maryland (BS, MA), photography and fiber art at Worcester Center for Professional Crafts in Worcester, MA and most recently digital design at Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, RI. My current work has transformed into mixed media combining all these elements. I have exhibited both nationally and internationally over the last 20 years. My work is in both private and corporate collections. I am a SAQA Juried Artist Member and a member of the Surface Design Association, Art Cloth Network, and Cape Cod Art Center. I’ll be giving a “Lightening Talk” at Lowell Quilt Museum, Lowell, MA 1:00pm 4/6/19
