Her garden photography mission is to capture a garden's atmosphere, spirit, and beauty in evocative images that preserve garden memories. She seeks out the essence of plants and gardens through the seasons and in the fine details of colour, texture, pattern and form.

Marilyn has transitioned from a career in information management, IT and business consulting. This transition started in 2006 with a small project to take a photo a day. It became the launching pad for her decision to embark on a photographic journey with creative and artistic challenges and explorations in 2008.
