Marcia Pagels
Artist at Work
Marcia's husband Gus was an avid photographer, but he mainly photographed scenery--for which he had a taste as strong as Marcia's--and the family's vacation trips. Of the 4000 slides and prints that survive, only a handful show Marcia painting. But she was still at work: on the road, on the beach, or on a mountain trail, she quietly collected ideas and images--a twisted root, a roadside weed, a scrap of bark.
