In her work, Marx explores the contrasts present in nature: beauty versus danger, stillness versus turbulence, creation versus erosion. These tensions form the core of her three collections: The MIND, The BODY, and The SOUL.

Whispers of Stone reflects a labyrinth of rock shaped by water and wind. Bryce Canyon is a living archive of geological time, where wind, rain, and ice continue to sculpt its iconic amphitheaters year after year. The work serves as a reminder of nature’s quiet perseverance and vulnerability.

The pigments used in these works are handmade from stones collected within the canyon, giving each painting an earthy, mineral presence — a physical fragment of the landscape embedded within the artwork itself.

Marx’s work is layered, earthy, and bold: an ode to the raw beauty of the world, but also a reminder of its fragility. Through Atelier Marx, she invites the viewer to experience nature as a place where attraction and threat coexist in harmony, while the urgency to protect these landscapes becomes ever more palpable.
