Marsha Connell is a Northern California contemporary colorist. Marsha paints landscapes en plein air, responding directly to the spirit of place.

         "Watching, listening, trusting intuition and gesture—infuses my painterly representation with an abstract sensibility. The energetic pleasure of dancing with brush and paint keeps me from getting distracted by small details. I am attentive to color and value, but do not require fidelity; expressive color can feel more true."
