The painting is a play of light, with a captivating surface you want to touch. Marcie uses the encaustic painting to highlight her drawing. Texture, luminosity, layers, and dimension come into play in the construction of her artwork. She uses addition and subtraction making the painting more of a sculptural form while playing with collage elements to add more texture and depth.

Teaching Philosophy
My drawing is an appreciation of the life, personality, spirit and beauty of humanity. Rough charcoal lines beneath layers of diaphanous color describe the figures in environments, evoking a personal narrative. We become voyeurs, peeking at protagonists through a magic colored window. The “back and forth” of additive collage imagery, the carving, and coloring of wax marries with encaustic’s mysterious depth and transparency to add a frisson of excitement to the still and quiet worlds before us.
