ART BY ELLERY D. MARGAY

Ellery D. Margay is a fiction writer, poet, and mixed media collage artist with a passion for finding the beauty in all things dark and strange. His aesthetic influences range far and wide— the natural lines of art nouveau, the intricate drama of Gothic and baroque architecture, the symbolism of the surrealists, and the lush gold and jewel tones of ancient times—all with a sharp modern edge. In pursuit of a cohesive theme or meaning, he pairs found objects and antiques with bones, butterflies, beetles, and painted details, often hiding snippets of his original poetry in the background or around the frame. Though relatively new to the art world, he is proud to say that his work has already been featured in three publications.
