Marie Marsina

​

Ms. Marsina paints in watercolor and oil, having studied with Ralph Acosta, Marc Josloff, and Howard Rose. She has also taken drawing classes with Paul David Elsen and Tangle drawing classes with Marilyn Gold-Mandell and Maxine Nodel. 

  

Finding inspiration everywhere, Marie interprets her watercolor paintings creatively, striking a balance between abstract qualities and representational appearance. Rather than demanding attention, her landscapes reward careful observation with nuanced shifts of color, light and atmosphere. Her horizons dissolve the boundary between sea and sky, creating an image that speaks to the expressive power of simplicity.

 

Marie has been honored with numerous awards; presented her paintings in local shows and her artwork is included in several private collections. 

 

In 2004, Ms. Marsina was elected the President of the National Art League (NAL) where she still maintains the role. She is also the Treasurer of the Douglaston Civic Association and was the curator for the Parlor Art Gallery in Douglaston for eight years. Marie is a native New Yorker, is an active member of her community, and lives in Douglaston, NY.
