In the words of her brother, Will Moriaty, excerpt from La Floridiana
"The Works of Merry Moor Winnett" was 3-page article about photographer Merry Moor Winnett, who as well as being a world published artist, was my sister and a best friend. Sadly, she passed away from breast cancer at the relatively young age of 42,in the fall of 1994. A true Florida Folk Hero (though born in Newport News, Virginia, she went to Ballast Point Elementary School in Tampa in the 50's and graduated in 1975 from the University of South Florida with a Bachelors in Fine art), I will tell her incredible story in a future installment of "La Floridiana".
Winged horses appear in many of Merry's works.
This one is featured in brother Will's Fanzine.
Merry's surrealistic visisons are all over the web.
