Marcia Wegman lives in Iowa City, IA. She has worked in multiple media, including intaglio printmaking (which she studied for her MFA at the University of Iowa), oil, watercolor, collage, and paper making. Her landscapes of the Midwest capture the spirit of Iowa. In addition to pastoral pastels, she also paints abstract landscapes on Yupo. They convey a feeling rather than the exact details of a location. The layering of long brushstrokes fractures the landscape and rebuilds it in new and exciting ways.
Vision: Inner & Outer
"Painting pastel landscapes and painting acrylic abstracts are two very different processes. With the pastel landscapes I am working from photographs I have taken of the Iowa land and sky in all seasons. The abstracts come from an inner vision using my imagination, sense of playfulness and experimentation. My love of and connection to nature is the underlying inspiration for both styles. I am a passionate gardener with a large decorative garden area surrounding my home. The garden becomes my outdoor canvas from spring through fall with potted plants to observe and care for during the winter months. These varied forms, colors, rhythms, and textures of nature find their way into the abstract paintings. Observation of Iowa's rolling crop fields, farms, rivers, lakes, woodlands and roadside grass and wildflowers gives me limitless possibilities to compose with light, color, texture, and forms into exciting compositions with the hope the viewer will share my love of the beauty of this state of Iowa." -Marcia
