Marla and David live in a rambling 1930 home in Bozeman, often frequented by their daughter and son-in-law, Wren and Mike, and their grandkids, Ira and Bertie. Marla is the writer/illustrator of the Brownpaper Mouse Alphabet storybooks, coloring book and paper dolls. She also enjoys making moving dioramas and animations and studying classical Theremin. David, Marla's spouse, is a retired electrical engineer, voracious reader of science fiction and supporter of wildly creative schemes.
When not inventing wacky contraptions together, Marla and David enjoy collecting curiosities of their own. Marla collects plaid umbrellas, existentially troubled dolls, masterpiece knock-offs, valentines, 1930s neckties, clocks shaped like TVs, dollhouse miniatures, tiny houses, broom labels, and postcards. David collects electronic test equipment (particularly oscilloscopes) and technical manuals, and anthropomorphic salt and pepper shakers. For more information about Marla and her art,

Marla will be performing on Theremin Thursdays from 4-5pm on March 28th and April 4th and 11th at the Story Mansion.
