By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature the second of two 12-piece Exhibitions of works by American landscape artist Marie Massey, (born 1968, in San Francisco, California).
 

Award-winning artist, Marie Massey, studied Fine Art at the California College of Arts and Crafts, UC Santa Barbara, UC Berkeley and at the Loveland Academy of Art as well as with many well-known contemporary artists. In the year 2000, after an international career in marketing and business development, Marie devoted herself to painting and teaching full-time. She teaches painting for adults working in oil and acrylic for the City of Monterey.

 

Marie paints both in her Dolphin Dunes Studio and outdoors, en plein air. Marie has had the joy to paint in France and Italy as well as in beautiful places in the US and South America. She captures the splendid uniqueness of a place with spontaneous brush strokes, sensitive line, and vivid color. With her sure hand in composition and her drawing skills, she takes the viewer on a painted journey. Marie’s paintings, have been juried into numerous national exhibitions where they have won many awards including Best of Show, 2nd and 3rd place as well as many Honorable Mentions, Purchase and Merchant Awards. Marie is also co-founder of Paint the Poudre Plein Air, an annual plein air painting event benefiting the Cache La Poudre River in Colorado and Founder of the Central Coast Plein Air Painters.

                           Current Status:

I feel good about the work I am producing:  that it maintains my vision and inspiration and is technically sound.  I have been painting professionally for 15 years and I feel like I am ready to launch to the next level of producing and selling my work. In the last 3 years, I have begun teaching the method that I use, Painting in Layers, to adults working in oil and acrylic. Over the years, I have been represented by many premiere galleries in Taos, New Mexico, Carmel, California, Jackson Hole, Wyoming, etc.  I have had great gallery relationships in the past with "for profit" galleries  and I am currently seeking gallery representation in Carmel/San Francisco/ Silicon Valley .
