Mary Wipf has been a South Dakota Arts Council roster artist since 1983. She invites others to learn the ancient techniques of Turkish marbling and Japanese suminagashi throughout her residencies across the state. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she hosted a virtual residency for Sanford Health's Sioux Falls campus via video instruction. In a time of uncertainty, boredom and loneliness, Wipf has sparked curiosity, creativity, and companionship with her beautifully composed virtual residencies. We hope you are able to find solace in the presence of Wipf's artistic adventures.

This program is made possible with funding from Sanford Health and a grant from the South Dakota Arts
Council.
