Growing up in Wyoming and spending the summers in Colorado, Marcia Blakeman always loved the outdoors. The wide open spaces, the mountains and the beautiful lighting any time of day have always intrigued her. Marcia considers herself primarily a landscape painter, although she will paint whatever interests her. Light, shadows and contrasts are always present in her art, no matter what the subject may be. Marcia feels very passionate about nature and the beauty it provides. Marcia states “I am not an artist who paints to make a statement, I hope that what I do preserves a small part of nature for all to enjoy and appreciate.”
