About Marcia

This is the story of a painter, her muse dog, and their travels around the world.

When Marcia adopts senior mini Dalmatian Elvis she has no idea how he will forever change her art. A modern impressionist, she becomes obsessed with capturing her glimpses of heaven in their walks. 

"I'm capturing a moment I want to treasure, that while apparently mundane, I know it trascends time and space. I'm painting the eternal now." Elvis agrees, often cameos in the art.

Marcia is a Spanish-Californian artist living between San Francisco, New York, Spain, and Italy. While she briefly attended the elite San Fernando Fine Art Royal Academy, she credits her two grandmothers for her style. Filo trained with Spanish master of light Sorolla, and Marcia encouraged her to be fearless with oils at a very young age. "I don't think I'd be a painter if Monet hadn't decided to paint the sky the color of butter". 

She self-describes as a "happy Van Gogh who paints on the floor, capturing the accident like Pollock".

Jerry Saltz, the acclaimed Pulitzer prize-winning art critic from New York magazine has praised Marcia's work for her "great light and touch". Her trademark style of crashing highly diluted and heavy oils is unforgetable and best appreciated in person: fast brushstrokes both delicate and raw, light up a room and move with the eye.

Marcia has collectors around the globe, she's exhibited in Madrid, Barcelona, Milan, Rome, Venice, New York, San Francisco and Miami, was a "best in show" at Spectrum and SCOPE. 

Her art was featured in cashmere scarves sold at luxury retailers in Hong Kong and the Hamptons. 

Marcia is also the founder of Surfergirl, New York's first gallery to solely represent women, and is the author of two books on art, marketing, and spirituality: "Artvertising, how to sell anything through art" and "How to get into heaven, a reflection on Saint Francis of Assisi".
