ABOUT THE ARTIST: Marsha Staiger

ARTIST STATEMENT

MARSHA STAIGER is an intuitive artist. She reacts to the process of applying paint, collage and calligraphy to surfaces. Using a predominance of acrylic paint, her conversation becomes a visual song that emanates from the artist’s life experiences.

Her work has been accepted into numerous exhibits locally and nationally. Her art is included in the collection at The University Club and Howard University in Washington, D.C.
