Artist Marca Sue DeLacerda Participates in Lucky Sale on July 7, 2007

Cedar Hill resident Marca Sue DeLacerda has been pursuing her art dream since 1996. Her work ranges from the whimsical to the spiritual and is held in several private collections across the U.S. and in Germany. Although her formal art education has been limited to workshops, art magazines, and a drawing class, Marca Sue has won numerous awards for her artwork.

“The flame for collage was ignited at a Jane E. Jones workshop,” said Marca Sue, who earned first and fourth place in the beginner’s division, competing against oil and acrylic, of the Midlothian Creative Art League show, a few short months after taking up watercolor. Her linoleum block print, “Funky Cat,” took first place, graphic division, in the Postcards from All Over exhibit in March 2000, and her collage, “How Does Your Garden Grow,” was honored with Best of Show at the Desoto Art League (DAL) 2002 Spring Art Show. She also received a Special Award for her block print montage, “For the Birds,” at the DAL members-only show in 2001.

Marca Sue’s most widely publicized work was the linoleum block print bookplate commissioned by Barnes and Noble Booksellers at Cedar Hill. The prints from the block were given out at the stroke of midnight during the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix book release party on June 21, 2003. The first 100 people to receive their pre-paid copies of the book received a signed and numbered print.

Marca Sue’s largest body of work included 100 individually designed and hand-painted greeting cards for the Random Accents gifts and unique home décor shop. The shop also sold several of her watercolors and collages.

March Sue is represented by the Anderson Gallery, 501 N. Main, Waxahachie. Membership affiliations include Ellis County Art Association, Visual Artists of Cedar Hill (VACH), and DeSoto Art League.

Marca Sue will have a one-woman show August 2007 at the Cedar Hill City Hall. The show will be themed with works pertaining to trees. Marca Sue is also available to teach collage and lino-print workshops.

Marca Sue is one of the many artists participating in the First Annual Art & Antiques Sale, sponsored by www.WaxahachieJournal.com, and held at 301 S. Rogers in Waxahachie.
