She established MLHarrison PHotography in 2005, after returning from Stockholm Sweden where she studied music composition at the Royal Academy of Music.

With MLHarrison Photography, Marian seeks to capture the very essence of the person or object she is photographing. Her desire is to create affordably priced images that are unique and lasting.

Midwest Summer Flowers - These flowers grew in a park near my Indiana home. I always enjoyed long, slow walks there because of the flowers and trees. Pink & Yellow & White & Green make for such beautiful things.

Red, Blond Black & Olive - I shot these sculptures while living in Bloomington, Indiana. I was compelled to photograph them because of their beauty and meaning. In my opinion, the artist, Jean-Paul Darriau, did a wonderful job of capturing all of humanity. Support the arts, they are our lasting impression on the earth!!!
Sherhara in Black & White - During my tenure as a doctoral student in the IU Jacobs School of Music, I took a photography course where I learned how to shoot and develop film in the darkroom. The process is AMAZING! While developing these photographs, I stumbled upon a way to create double and triple images on the right/wrong sides of the paper. I want to thank Mrs. Sherhara Downing for being such a beautiful, willing model!!!
Swedish Shadows - For these images, I experimented with the cold, bright Swedish sun as it flooded my dorm room one Saturday afternoon. 6 months of Day, 6 months of Night, I arrived in Stockholm on 9.15.04 and departed on 5.01.05. I often long for a return.

Current Positions & Initiatives
<--Back to Educator
Project MAP (music, art, poetry) is an elementary (3rd - 8th grades) arts education initiative that uses music, art and poetry to facilitate understanding of various social scientific issues like citizenship or environmentalism. Each year Project MAP produces two public performances per academic year, which showcase original, participant-made artistic expressions. These performances are the result of a dynamic learning environment created by a partnership between students, teachers, parents, and experts in the fields of music, art, and poetry. Through experience, study, performance, and assessment, Project MAP fulfills its most important long-term goal, which is to produce a population of life-long learners who understand, appreciate, and support the arts through patronage and participation.
