Marcia Furman

Marcia Furman is a local artist in my town, and I love her art so much. I had the pleasure of meeting her on a missions trip to the Dominican Republic. I first fell in love with her work when sh painted murals on the walls of churches here.

I think that she is one of the few artists I know that do a good job a including Christian aspects in her work, without being objective. She has a lot of Christian inspiration in her paintings, but it is not like she is  painting a bunch of crosses and nativity scenes. Her work is open for a lot of interpretation and is playful, relate-able, and enjoyable.

One thing that I find very interesting about her work is that she never draws faces on her people, but yet they are never creepy-looking. She says that it allows for the viewer to decided for themselves what the person is thinking. The viewer gets to decide the people’s emotions or even put themselves into the paining.

Here is just a bit of her work




This is based off of "Romans 7:15"


"It Just Comes Naturally


"This isn't the Way it Was Supposed to Happen"


"Faith Like a Child"


"Marvelous Light" (I actually have this one, and it is of out view in the Dominican)

If you want to see more of her art, she has a facebook page called "The Art of Marcia Furman"
She also has an Etsy account if you have an interest in owning her art.
