The Artist

Creating paintings that establish harmonious arrangements of mark-making, tonal values, colors, and shapes, with an emphasis on theories of visual weight, define Marsango’s well balanced compositions.  She enthusiastically employs classic and trending color palettes, proportional relationships, informed decision making, and spontaneity in her painting practices.

Working with acrylic, oil, encaustic beeswax, pigments, mixed media, collage, and assemblage, she incorporates many techniques with high quality products and archival materials.  Some surfaces can be characterized as smooth, textured, layered, opaque, luminous, or a combination of all.  The developed use of glazes and final finishes strengthen the quality and provide a slight sheen protective to the work.
