I’ve enjoyed art in one form or another since I was old enough to pick up a crayon and scribble on a wall. As early as third grade, I began blending colors and using shade to create form. Balancing marriage, motherhood and a full time career, there was only time enough to dabble in the fine arts. My 43 years as a sign artist afforded me a daily outlet for creativity. Now that I’m retired, I want to direct my creativity towards watercolor. It’s been a real challenge for me to break away from the very technical art form of sign making but the fluidity of the watercolor medium is helping me to do that. My subject matter is varied and my work is a unique combination of realist, impressionist and postimpressionist styles and sensibilities.

“To me, every work of art gives the viewer a glimpse of the spirit that resides in the heart of the artist that created it. I would like my paintings to touch the viewer somewhere deep within causing them to take that second look.”

For those who enjoy my gallery, I invite you to sign in as one of my fans at http://artist.to/marsha-elliott/ & be a very important part of my creative journey.
