Marcia Walmer is a Realist who is set on capturing the simple beauty of our region. "Anything that the sunlight touches" is a potential painting in her words. She works in soft pastel, charcoal, and graphite. Marcia has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Edinboro University and is associated with the Great Lakes Pastel Society (GLPS). One of her recent pastels has been juried into the 2024 GLPS National Online Show.

After earning an MA in clinical psychology, raising a family and pursuing other career interests, Marcia has returned to her passion for drawing and painting. She works from her studio in McKean, PA and travels and hikes throughout western Pennsylvania, Ohio, and North Carolina, seeking out inspiration, and attending workshops.

Marcia works toward excellence in drawing and aims to elevate the common, often overlooked places by finding their unique sun-lit brilliance and beauty. She is drawn to the skies, the water, country roads, and she finds inspiration in the shadows along the way.
