occasions! by design

The Fiesta Bowl Art Walk was the first art walk of the New Year and it went off with a BANG. More than 150 tourists and Arizona residents visited Occasions! by design and enjoyed the wonderful weather and our beautiful fine art, jewelry and unique table top.

Many were visiting for the game that Monday and supported their team by wearing Boise State and Texas Christian University colors; others were here to see our beautiful new location.

Wishing you a Happy New Year.

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.
