marcia was born in syracuse new york in 1955.
...it was a very good year.

on off-days, when she wasn't digging herself out of the snow, her childhood was spent surrounding herself with crayons, colored pencils, sidewalk chalk, boondoggle, macrame, knishes, and her best friend laurie.

art classes in high school led to more summer art classes at syracuse university, which led to an art minor at SUNY albany. after completing graduate studies in cytology at memorial sloan kettering cancer center, marcia pursued a career in cytology while raising her younger brother in beautiful, sunny and humid, never-a-good-hair-day florida.

peering through microscopes day and night to find cancer cells proved to be far less interesting than actually drawing the cells - go figure!

many artistic endeavors later - including raising two delicious children, designing high school musical sets, and opening a cozy, artsy retail shop in the 90s - led marcia to start something new...something way more fun than menopause.

her current line of fabulous items can be found in some of the cutest (with a capital Q) little boutiques around the country as well as in the national museum of women in the arts in washington d.c..
