Marsha Zavez cannot remember a time when she wasn’t drawing or painting. Art is woven into her sense of self, and it is in the act of creating that she finds herself most at peace. There’s something about taking a blank canvas and transforming it into an image that brings her joy. Early on, inspired by the works of Richard Diebenkorn, Zavez painted still life’s with food, eventually adding landscapes, animals and florals. Most recently, Marsha rekindled her love of collage and has been adding bits of wallpaper, sheet music, pages from old art and poetry books, and found objects to her work. Working in oils for years, Zavez transitioned to mainly acrylic work, embracing the fast-drying quality of the medium. Marsha finds that acrylic complements her temperament as she is able to continuously add, change, take away, glue and layer, layer, layer!

  Zavez earned her BFA and M. Ed at UNH and has taught visual art and drama at North Hampton School on the NH seacoast since 1999. Her work is shown at Valerie’s Gallery in Newburyport, MA, Inner Space Fine Arts in North Reading, MA,  and at juried shows, businesses, venues and in private collections throughout New England. Marsha is a member of the Newburyport Art Association and the National Art Educators Association.

Feel free to contact her at [email protected] if you have any questions. 

ENJOY!

The Gulls

My most recent gull paintings often include bits of typed or found script pieces of perceived conversations. When observing these gulls (and especially the gull couples) I can't help but wonder what they're thinking. If I know just what it is, I'll type it up and add it to the painting. Other times, I search through old play scripts, operas, books or sheet music to find just the right words to complete the piece.

Landscapes and seascapes

still life

I find the color and texture of flowers, fruit and food items appealing. Some things just need to be painted.

birds and animals

work inspired by my love of the animals in my world

Encaustic work

My amazing artist friend Amy taught me how to paint with wax. I admit, I was hesitant at first. But, I've come to enjoy the heating and layering process and the freedom that encaustic painting brings. The wax sometimes has a mind of its own.
