We cannot believe it has been 10 years already since a shy but very confident young painter walked into our gallery with a handful of small paintings. We have told the story to many—how we had just met a ridiculously talented painter who was going places. Marci’s career continues to flourish as does our friendship. enjoy this selection of her paintings and, if you did not believe us about the “going places” comment, just take a look below at a few of the more recent awards she has won! enjoy!
