Marcia is married, has two children, four grand children and two step sons. She is a registered nurse and is currently employed at Fairmont Medical Center (FMC) which is a part of the Mayo Health system. Marcia has always had the desire to paint and draw but never thought she was good enough.

She was encouraged by one of the doctors at FMC to attend a one day class to see if she had potential and her desire took over. She has attended class at Sharon Sadusky's for a few years and received lots of encouragement from Sharon and others attending her classes. Her friends and family have been encouraging her to find a way to promote herself and her art.  She was happy to hear that her work was accepted at A Piece of Work, inc. Her artwork has been on display in the Hall of Art at FMC in Fairmont, MN. Pearson's Lakes Art Center in Spirit Lake, Nobles County Art Center in Worthington, MN and at Bank Midwest in Jackson, MN. She has entered works in several County Fairs and received "THE BEST OF SHOW" on her entry entitled "HIDE & SEEK", at the 2006 Clay County Fair.

Her dream is to have a studio “the Perfect Gift", and teach others the relaxing gifts of painting and drawing. She feels that she has been given the "perfect gift" from God to draw and paint and the individuals that buy or order her work will have the perfect gift they choose.
