Marilyn Houlberg Collection | Indigo Arts

The Indigo Arts website has remained active over the last two years despite the dispruptions from the COVID-19 virus. I have resumed regular operations and am able to pack and ship most orders within a few days. Shipping times have increased during this period. The gallery is open to visitors, but by appointment only. Please phone or email ahead.

Note: USPS service remains very slow. I don't recommend it if you are in a hurry. Please note also that USPS shipping estimates only include insurance for up to a $50 value. If you want full insurance please let me know and I will charge it separately.
Please stay safe!
