Kari Marboe is the daughter of a pathologist and is delighted by any squirming or squeaking that emanates from viewers of her work. While preserved specimens and sculpted internal organs may be the basis of her artwork, it should be noted that the artist can barely tolerate fresh blood and has been known to lose consciousness from a paper cut.
Ms. Marboe graduated with honors from California College of the Arts in 2008 and opened MG Gallery with partner Adam Green shortly thereafter. Kari and Adam share a house and studio in Oakland, California with their exceptionally handsome cat Lord Wiggles.
