Merrill Wagner
born Seattle, Washington, 1935
Merrill Wagner has long been fascinated with the use of nontraditional materials. She has experimented with painting and drawing on stone, steel, and slate often incorporating the patterns inherent in the material, or marks and blemishes on the surface into her compositions. For most of her career, she has worked primarily in an abstract vocabulary that has become increasingly minimalist with time.
