| MARILYN LYSOHIR Marilyn Lysohir, like a character in a spy novel, leads a complicated life and plays many roles. She is an artist who works primarily in clay and has a national reputation. You will find her work reproduced in almost every ceramic book published in the last fifteen or twenty years. She exhibited a major installation "The Dark Side of Dazzle" at the WSU Museum of Art in1991, and another "The Tattooed Ladies and the Dinosaur" at the U of I Prichard Gallery in 2002 and the Belger Art Center in Kansas City. She is currently working on a series of portraits of the 167 girls with whom she graduated from high school. Then from 1995 to 2000, in addition to making her art, she and her husband Ross Coates published a yearly magazine called "High Ground" that was about the art and artists in the plateau region of the Pacific Northwest. Really more than just a magazine, each edition was an artist's book with slides,audio tapes, and sometimes, actual pieces of art. In 1997, remembering her first job in high school at Daffin's Candy inPennsylvania, Marilyn decided to start a small candy company called "CowgirlChocolates." From a tiny beginning (partially conceived of as a performance piece) it has grown into an international enterprise with outlets in the US, Canada and Germany. But the days in the studio are still most important. You can check out what she's up to at www.cowgirlchocolates.com or Marilyn's Art website.
