Sednek_FrockOn

Folk artist Marcia Sednek creates one-of-a kind assemblages, created from found objects and vintage tins. She explores a variety of themes such as women’s fashion dresses and purses, unique dolls and flowers.
Marcia lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico with her son Sullivan. She works with a group of artists from the Off Center Community Arts Project in Albuquerque. The group supports low income artists to help them achieve their goals through creating and selling their art. She finds great joy and inspiration in the search for unusual materials, and sharing “the hunt” process with her son.

Occasions Grand Re-Opening

Friday, November 20th, 2009

Occasions! would like to thank everyone who came out and made our Grand Re-Opening a success and helped raised funds for The Breasthetics Institute (we estimate 200 attended). We would like to also thank Cathy’s Rum Cakes Catering for donating the delicious cakes and hors d’oeuvres and Ambiance Fluer Eclectics for her opulent flowers.
