Artist Spotlight Marcia Sednek

heather — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 18:50:04 +0000

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.
