My current work is as witness to the abuse of our planet. Upcycling and recycling are the muse and source of ideas and materials. I explore a wide range of media and techniques, acquired from studies at NYU, Columbia, Pratt, and world travel, including an Artist Residency at Foundation Valparaiso in Almira, Spain and exhibiting in Saki City Museum, Japan

Combining found elements with those fashioned by my own hand, my work encompasses two- and three-dimensional collage as well as sculptural objects. The essence of my work lies in the age-old struggle between nature and the man-made industrial world. My work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. I have taught at Parsons School of Design, Pratt Institute and the SVA.
The source of inspiration is landscape. Immersion in landscape is essential to journey towards moments of peace. Including works inspired by many walks through near and far places, EB reflects on sights that surround us. Days are crowded with freedoms and limitations. Where do we go to find peace? Landscape of mind isn’t tangible but we can walk there too
Marisa Gonzales Silverstein has worked since 2013 as a paper sculptor, creating designs that are meditative and mathematical but that demonstrate the interplay of light and shadow. Marisa received a Fellowship in Photography from the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) in 2016. She has shown her work in galleries in New York City, Westchester, Rockland, and Putnam counties.
