mixed media and encaustic on panel
Marseille’s intelligent and richly layered paintings convey a deep respect for time and materials. They have a presence, like an ancient wall, rich in history. She will patiently apply as many as 20 layers of glazes or encaustics to give the painting history and depth and then begin excavating and building. The viewer is able to experience both the complexity and the enjoyment of the process.
