Marnie Weber (born 1959 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, U.S.) is an artist who lives and works in Los Angeles.

Weber studied at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA , and the University of California Los Angeles.

The eclectic work of Marnie Weber consists of collages, sculptures, films and performances.

[edit] Visual arts

For her collages, she uses among other things photographs of landscapes or stately colourful rooms of palaces that remind of the time of Louis XIV. Into these environments she situates children, animals, flowers or nudes taken from soft-core magazines and this way creates scenes that seem to derive from surreal dreams or fairy-tales. Animals and beings half human half animal are a popular motif in the collages of Marnie Weber. She disputes themes like beauty and decay, youth and age and sexuality.

[edit] Performance

Besides her solo performances she also performs with her band "The Spirit Girls" (like they did in 2007 at the Billy Wilder Theatre at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles).
