I am a storyteller at heart. My background as a painter, archivist and curator combined with my obsession with anthropological histories, early film and the collecting and displaying of ephemera drives my vision of photography, painting, and writing. I write from the heart and often combine fine art photography with my narratives and poetry. I also create custom, limited edition art books for individuals who want to document a special event in their own life. - Marianne Światłowicz Dalton (AKA Marianne Smith Dalton)
