Seen above at right, her hand-painted custom guitars for Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce in the band Cream who also sport her custom fashions.

* There have been vivid colorists throughout art history like
the Fauves or Blue Rider movement, even those similarly transposing patterns and realistic figures like Gustav Klimt. However, none consistently incorporated rainbow colors deftly throughout their careers. Marijke's story in art and influences will be found soon in an upcoming issue of Paraphilia Magazine via a photo feature with an interview with Marijke Koger-Dunham by yours truly.
