Maryanne Was Quiet is one of many thoughtfully designed and meticulously crafted works on panel by Toby Putman, whose work has been exhibited across the United States and held in both private and institutional collections. He was selected for the United Nations 75th Anniversary Exhibition.

Recurring themes in his work explore the human relationship to nature, environmental stewardship, wildlife symbolism, and the use of scale to evoke humility and reverence.
