Marsha past away peacefully April 16, 2026
here is a link to a Memorian Page & Letter From Marsha
Saturday, June 13, would have been Marsha’s 79 birthday. Here’s Marsha’s own pen and ink birthday cat to wish her happy birthday. If you want to honor Marsha on her birthday plant a tree, when asked what to tell people if they wanted to donate or do something in memory of her, that was her answer.
Marsha dedicated her life to creative expression in diverse mediums. Her artistic talents, appreciation of Nature, and intuitive sense of color and light resulted in the body of work seen in these web pages. Follow the menu above to view her diverse styles, from her Meditations, influenced by miniature paintings of ancient Asian artists, to bold, colorful Flora From Afar. Many of Marsha’s pieces are collages, combining her talents as a water color painter and pen and ink artist, with the fine papers used in bookbinding. Her collages range from whimsical to the sublime. Read more about Marsha >
The pieces above are from one of Marsha’s sketch books. Some of her sketch books will be donated to the Jefferson County Historical Society and available in their research library. The Historical Society currently has some of Marsha’s art.
Marsha’s logo for her cards was this little piece, combining a bird (little birds appear in many of her art pieces) and a gingko leaf, which had meaning to her. “Birdy Gingko”. In small red letters are the words “Living with MS”, which she did for decades, with much grace, though not always with ease.
