#106: A Touch of Peacock Magic: A one-of-a-kind collage designed and hand-crafted by local artist Marian McEvoy.
Riffing on the theme of this year’s Spirit of Mesier Celebrates Magic, artist Marian McEvoy has created a 18" by 24” framed collage of peacock feathers celebrating the Wappingers’ community and role Wappingers Historical Society has in making Wappingers a special place.
Since retiring form publishing, where, among many assignments, she was the founding editor of Elle Decor and then as editor-in-chief of House Beautiful, Marian has focused on creating and crafting unique home decor items such as collages with pressed flowers and leaves, obelisks adorned with cork, fabric and wallpaper designs and lampshades with whimsical drawings.
Her work can be found as part of krbnyc.com collections (https://krbnyc.com/collections/marian-mcevoy) and is widely used by designers and home owners desiring innovative pieces, reflecting a deep appreciation for nature, natural forms and folk art.
This collage will be available for pickup at the close of the auction, either in person at the gala or by appointment at the Mesier Homestead in the village of Wappingers Falls at a later date.
