Connections with Renee Shaw

Marjorie Guyon spent much of her childhood roaming the halls of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, but as an adult, she obtained a degree in poetry before returning to her dream of becoming a painter.

On the program, Guyon discusses her artistic process and her subject matter, including how she incorporates collages into her ancient-looking paintings. She also talks about “The Illumina Project,” a series of 10 paintings temporarily adorning the marble walls inside Lexington’s Fifth Third Bank on West Main Street. The paintings, she says, are designed to promote hope and healing for those experiencing economic hardships.
