” I create beauty. The world asks to be filled with beauty. A person who does not use her creative talents is wasting away in a world filled with stink. This is my most recent creation. It is a thing of beauty. I cannot rest when my mind is plugged with creative energy that remains frozen. I create with shrimp. Shrimp can be frozen. Shrimp are the most beautiful thing on earth. What would the world be without shrimp? What would I be if I could not reach out and touch shrimp? I would be an empty vessel. Shrimp are my life. Soon this creation will turn to stink. The party has been cancelled. Creation is ephemeral. Tomorrow I will create fresh beauty with more shrimp. My life could not be more beautiful.”

Stink
Yes, the beauty and the art of stink.
I don’t know how old the picture is but it screams 1960s. That little suit looks as though Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis might have worn one like it. Her hair style is even like JKO’s. The shrimp look very edible but I prefer them batter-fried. So, who invented the “shrimp tree”? W/ all of the shrimp, it must have been a “bomb-diggity” party!
PS…Is it just a coincidence that the color of the suit Mary wears is SHRIMP?
Zingara, Yes, she lives and breaths shrimp.
Hey there, Erica! I am an artist myself and I am very intrigued by self-proclaimed shrimp artist, Miss Mary Inglese, and was wondering where you found this photograph and if there’s anymore you can tell me about this person? I haven’t been able to find anything online about her.
