About Mari Kono:
Mari Kono is a collage artist born and raised in Los Angeles, California. She has exhibited her work at museums and galleries across the U.S., including the Honolulu Academy of Arts, the San Jose Museum of Contemporary Art, Spirit Square in Charlotte, North Carolina and Intersection for the Arts in San Francisco, California.

About the Art:
“Inspired by psychedelic art of the1960s, Japanese design and fantasy illustrations from Faerie-tale books, my collages are intended to release more love, understanding and compassion into the world. My palette includes self generated digital images, in combination with materials gathered from books and magazines, found scraps, wrapping paper, glitter, paint, rubber stamps and dimensional objects. As I work, I pray that my collages might instill a sense of mystical pleasure in all who encounter them.” –Mari Kono
