The Pennings and Paintings of Marilyn Zapata

As I approach my 70th year of life, I find myself musing on the artistic footprint I will leave behind on this earth. In an effort to compress my lifetime production of trivial ephemera, I decided on this blog. My endeavors are categorized into four sections: Pennings (4 volumes entitled “Around the World in 40 Years”), Paintings (silks, pastels, watercolors and acrylics), Portraits (of family and friends), and Pastimes (massive amounts of et cetera). Explore this blog at your own risk!

About Me

Marilyn Zapata
As I rapidly approach the beginning of my 70th year of life, I find myself musing on the artistic footprint I will leave behind on this earth. In an effort to compress my lifetime production of trivial ephemera (made you look) in one place, I decided on this blog. My meager endeavors are categorized into four sections: Pennings (a written saga of four volumes entitled “Around the World in 40 Years” and four coffeetable photographic books), Paintings (most notably silks - ponchos, scarves and squares, including a "how-to" section - but also pastels, watercolors and acrylics), Portraits (of family, friends and the famous), and Pastimes (massive amounts of et cetera including domino jewelry, clocks, camels and collages). Explore this blog at your own risk, it might be catching!
