Marie's specialized approach to "Ganoderma Art," however, is a bit more sophisticated. After each specimen has been carefully dried, Marie applies a woodburner (this is called pyrography) and, on some pieces, pastel pencils. Each of Marie's Ganoderma Artworks is truly unique; many of her masterpieces are in the collections of the numerous professional mycologists who are fans of her work.
Marie has taught workshops on pyrography and scratchboard techniques for the Northeast Mycological Foray in New Hampshire, the Puget Sound Mycological Society in Seattle, Washington, and the Central New York Mycological Society in Syracuse, New York.
