The significance of the Japanese phrase mono no aware implores us to understand the transitory nature of things with a sense of beauty and finiteness.
This painting was influenced by artist Chang Dai-chie and Sumi-e paintng. I used varied techniques with applications of black ink and tinted ink glazing over gold, silver and copper leaf. It is framed with antique silk and gold thread ribbons.
This is painted on wood canvas. The depth is 5/8" deep and is equipped with hardware ready to hang.

When Marcia began her formal art education as a student of the Fine Arts at Weber State Universiy, Utah she became enchanted with the works of many great masters. Klimt, Mackintosh, Parish and Rodin were among her early favorites. She's often told that her La Femme Series is reminiscent of those art masters and pleased that their influence shows through in them.
Marcia was honored to have been discovered by and picked by Robert Rauschenberg (National Medal of Arts) as his choice for America's top rising artist.
