After graduating, she began her career as an artist working in steel and stone exploring concepts of humanism as expressed through language and material. She worked on a series of books cut from steel and stone that were personal interpretations of her history within a larger cultural history.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT 

The specific forms of my work float on the surface of a well of memory.  I create discreet objects, objects in series and installation.

My preferred material is steel, and/or Stone.  In my constructions the material wears its identity through rough-cut edges, visible welds and an undisguised slabness.  I may combine them with glass, stone, text, Photographs, and miscellaneous findings.
​

By cutting, burning and welding, experience and emotion are melded into steel.

I saw your name and nearly collapsed, I lost my wife of 60 years 2 years ago, her name was Marianne Reim ! What a shock and coincidence!
I wish you continued success in your fantastic art endeavors!
