Marilee Shapiro Asher has been sculpting since 1936. Living in Washington DC, she had juried shows at the Corcoran, The Smithsonian, the Baltimore Museums, and had her first one-person show at the Watkins Gallery at American University. At the ripe young age of 88, she needed to turn her attention to a medium that was a little less physically demanding. That’s when she started doing digital art. She learned to scan her drawings or etchings onto the computer where she could manipulate them and create new pieces of art. He autobiography is entitled Dancing in the Wonder of 102 Years.

“Very often I start from something material, something I see that looks very interesting, and I want to play with it. I do believe that art is the very highest form of play.” Artist Marilee Shapiro Asher (Age 106)
