For the past 30 years she has explored many mediums on her artist’s journey -  Fabric, dyes, clay, and paper to name a few.  Now she feels she has come to her age of passion.  She says - “If not now, when?”  She has taken a deeper plunge into her creative self and eagerly awaits what will emerge.

She is primarily self taught, but finds she is learning something new all the time. She feels  her fellow artists/crafters have truly been an inspiration to her - and Marcia, you have truly been an inspiration to all who know and love your gorgeous work.

From her feedback: “This Exotic Ivory Bangle is the loveliest piece of jewelry!!!!!! I am in awe of Marcia’s talent!!!! This is a masterpiece and I would urge anyone visiting her gorgeous shop to absolutely NOT leave without buying one of these!!!! Thanks Marcia!!
