COLLECTION NO. 1
To behold Marleigh Culver’s work is to understand the artist’s deep reverence for nature. We thought this piece was particularly suited to puzzle form, thanks to Culver’s calming marine-inspired color scheme, which makes for a meditative and challenging assembly experience.

I loved this puzzle. Completed in a couple evenings. Very relaxing. I especially enjoyed it while listening to "The Henna Artist".
This puzzle is beautiful. The colors are so deep. The only problem is it took my granddaughter about 45min. to put together. She still loved it.
These puzzles are wonderful. The colors are so exciting. My granddaughter was thrilled when she opened the package. I buy puzzles for her all the time. These undoubtedly got the best response.
This was very enjoyable to work on--not too hard or too easy, and I love the image. It interlocks well so that when it was finished I could pick it up by one edge and carry it to another table to display. There was one piece where the cardboard and the paper with the image had completely separated so that the two parts were loose in the bag when I opened it, but I was able to reunite them and glue them back together, so all was well.
I love the design and the puzzle itself is matte (love - less light reflecting off it). The pieces fit together well and the texture is velvety smooth. Everything about this puzzle is a 10/10.

“I’m fascinated by nature because it’s impossible to replicate as an artist. The beauty is so stunning, it inspires me to extend those aesthetics into my work. I love clusters of shapes or things that connote fullness, like a forest. My love for marine life has been around since I was small and grew up near the ocean. I used the name of a botanist for this piece; I admire everything to do with that world, from the naming to the recording and illustration. I wanted this piece to be something fun and grounding. Bringing more of the outside inside, I feel, really helps the psyche. I have a bunch of plants and warm tones in my house to help me connect back to nature, so I hope this puzzle helps others be inspired to explore the outside, as well as to create a beautiful home environment inside.” — Marleigh Culver
