Marcia Cooper - Painter

My paintings often focus on figures that fit comfortably within the colors, shapes and textures of the natural landscape. The aim is to instill a feeling of contentment as we settle into quiet moments by ourselves or while interacting with companions in these serene surroundings.  At other times, my paintings envision the surreal walls of architectural structures with the fabric of the earth appearing to unfold from one step to the next.   

   Recent juried shows include the Art of Healing at the Nathaniel Allen House in West Newton. An ongoing exhibit of my work is at the Luckart Gallery in Auburndale and Brookline Saving Bank in Newtonville.
