Marcie

A native of South Florida, Marcie received her Master’s degree in Art Education from Florida International University.  

After teaching for 6 years in Dade County Public Schools as a Magnet Art Teacher, Marcie left teaching in 1998 to start a family and continue her love of painting.  

She has exhibited locally for the past 13 years and in 1999 won 1^st place in two-dimensional artwork at the Cultural Councils annual juried art show (Saturday & Sunday in the Park with Art) at Fairchild Tropical Gardens.  Her most recent showing was at the Wallflower Gallery in downtown Miami.

Drawing from the natural world, Marcie is best known for exploring the design elements of light and texture.  Professing a love of elements and images local to the subtropics she states, “I can find something exciting and dynamic in even the simplest objects.  To see light filter in through a canopy or to run your fingers over the bark of a coconut tree… those are the things that inspire me”.
