Marilyn
I attended my sister’s baby shower yesterday at the M Street Bar and Grill in the St. Gregory Hotel. This “Forever Marilyn” Monroe statue by J. Seward Johnson greets you as you walk in the door. I never knew it was here and it was a pleasant surprise to see it.
Wow — highly realistic and what a conversation piece. I love how the dress is strategically draped as to not reveal anything you shouldn’t see at eye level — just like the actual still photo from the 1954 movie, The Seven Year Itch. I’ve always liked Johnson’s work, particularly The Awakening.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
