apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

We love the way the series combines modernism and Americana through a study of print and pattern. Born in San Francisco and educated in California and New York, Marill currently lives in Goodyear, Arizona.

Here's how Marill describes the series: "Depicted in 'A Big Small Town' are the strongest impressions of Phoenix by a non-native, thru a folk art aesthetic. That aesthetic might be best described by Holger Cahill in American Folk Art, "A varied art, influenced from diverse sources often frankly derivative, often fresh and original and at its best, an honest and straight forward expression of the spirit of a people.""
