Sobre el Artista

MFA, Painting and Drawing, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, 2002 Educated formally as both a visual artist and an art historian, Marcia has been influenced by diverse styles, especially American and French art. She enjoys sharing her passion for art with her students as a college art instructor and mentor to aspiring women artists through Women’s Art Resources of Minnesota (WARM). Marcia paints abstract works, as well as abstracted landscapes in small and large formats. Her works are visual metaphors for states of mind and emotion, conveyed through abstract imagery associated with water, fire, air and vegetation. The body of work implies the hidden dichotomy of life, that almost nothing is all good or all bad. Her work is included in the traveling exhibition, "Women and Water Rights" (2010-2012) juried by international art critic and writer, Lucy Lippard, and has been shown in numerous solo and juried group exhibitions. Marcia's work has been published in "International Contemporary Artists" (ICA Pub., 2011), "Studio Visit" (Vol. 9, 2010) and "Exploring TOSCA" (Summer 2011) and is in a number of public and private collections, including the Boynton Health Services Art Collection at the University of MInnesota, Minneapolis.
