Tina Marcus
Tina Marcus describes her works as “Soul-Selfies”. Where people today are taking pictures of themselves with their phones, she is documenting snapshots of defining moments. Marcus focuses on experiences that affect the human spirit and soul. Her subjects explore conditions and circumstances with themes revolving around spirituality, aging, solitude, isolation, and ambiguity.
She’s received a grant this year from the United Arts Council Raleigh/Wake County, NC to create “Pulp People” using corrugated cardboard that are life sized figures—focusing on the unpredictable uncertainty’s life poses. Cardboard though ordinary, mundane, and unassuming in appearance should be a wakeup call reminding us how vulnerable we can be to circumstances and how fragile life is. Most recently, her work titled The Collection Box has been invited to exhibit at The Dr. Bernard Heller Museum, New York City, for a forthcoming exhibit titled The Tzedek Box Project.
Tina’s paintings have been exhibited at Duke University, galleries, and museums in North Carolina. Her works are in private and corporate collections.
