Biographical Sketch
Marsha Gormley
One of Marsha's art instructors once described her as a 'rim walker'.
She
loves to balance on the rim between the abstact and real worlds.
Her work is romantic and free-spirited reflecting her passion for
people, places, pets and nature. Infatuation with colour, line and
texture are revealed in the design of her work.
Since childhood she has enjoyed drawing, painting and doodling.
During secondary school in Ottawa and at university in Kingston
at Queen's she studied art. Throughout her career as an elenentary
school teacher she
enjoyed encouraging her student's artistic talents. She frequently
used her summer vacations to attend art courses ffrom numerous locally
and
internationally recognized artists.
Retired since January 2002 she is now focussing on her artistic
interests
and has enjoyed several successful shows in Kingston and area. Marsha
says she is "finally getting to do what she really wanted to
do when she grew up!"
