Marie Marfia is a pastel artist who likes painting skeletons, people and landscapes. After receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Kendall College of Art & Design in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Marie worked the next 30 years as a graphic designer. In 2011, she tried pastels and promptly fell in love with the medium. Now she paints nearly every day. She currently lives in the Ludington, Michigan area with her husband and two lucky dogs. Her studio is parked in her front yard and she invites you to visit if you’re ever in town.
