Marilyn da Silva’s work is based on telling stories through imagery and representational elements. Her trademark surface treatment of gesso and colored pencil creates a rich palette for her sculpture and wearable pieces. Her work has been displayed nationally and internationally, including at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and is represented in public and private collections. Also, she has been featured in numerous books, magazines and catalogues. She was selected as “Master Metalsmith 1999” by the National Ornamental Metal Museum in Memphis, Tennessee and made a Fellow of the American Craft Council in 2007. In 2016, she was selected as “Master of the Medium: Jewelry and Metals” by the Renwick Gallery Alliance. In January 2021, she will become a Montgomery Fellow at Dartmouth College.
