Letters From Grandma (2005) Escultura por Marianne Caroselli

Life, as an artist, has been rewarding for Marianne Caroselli.  At age 10, she started her own ceramics business, which she continued for fifteen years. While most children were outside playing, she was creating and painting original ceramic artworks. She later attended the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Arts, and received her   degree in Interior Design. She worked as a decorator for a short time, then married and started a family.

Over the years she kept up her ceramic business, meanwhile,     beginning to explore oil paints. There she found her true love. She gave up the ceramic business to devote her time to painting oils. She and her husband, along with their four children, moved from New Jersey in 1972, to settle in the wide open space of Texas. Without the promise of a job for her husband, or knowing where they were to live, the adventure began.

They chose a small hill country town to settle in, and Marianne began her career. On the small ranch, they had many horses, cows, dogs, cats, and burros to use as models for her paintings.

A big break came when Leanin’ Tree, a prestigious greeting card company, chose her work to be reproduced on greeting cards, posters and mugs. Shortly thereafter. a company out of New York commissioned her to produce paintings for prints. A little later, a calendar company chose her work for “ Artist of America” and “Cowboy Artists” calendars.

She began to sculpt in 1979, after a fellow artist taught her the basics of sculpting. Later, she

attended juried classes at the Cowboy Artist of America Museum in Kerrville, TX.

Her husband, an architect, designed their new home with a spacious studio and workshop.

The studio had large windows throughout for observing the local wildlife that have taken up

residence in her yard. Their four children and grandchildren live close by and, along with her neighbors and friends, are the models for many of her sculptures.

Marianne has completed many notable commissions, including a bronze sculpture in memory of the courageous men who died in World War II. The six-foot high bronze now has a place of  honor on the Court House lawn in Canada. Marianne’s work is collected by such notable as Burt Reynolds, Daniel Stern, Wayne Newton, Byron Nelson, Pat Summerall, as well as many

corporate collections.
