Marsha Connell
The French term, En Plein Air, describes the act of painting outdoors. This energetic method of painting,
first made popular in the mid to late 1800's, was crucial to the impressionist movement.
The practice continues in full swing today with professional societies, publications, shows and festivals.
Among the best is Marsha Connell who was selected to paint our En Plein Air collection. Her ability to
connect with and capture the spirit of her subject is impressive.
Marsha Connell is a Northern California artist known for her evocative collages and her colorist paintings
in oil, watercolor, and pastel. Her work has been exhibited widely in solo and group shows and in art
and literary publications. An Adjunct Professor in Santa Rosa Junior College's Art Department, she has also
presented workshops, seminars, and lectures in many California venues, as well as in Alaska, New Mexico,
Oregon, New York, and Mexico.
"Painting on location, en plein air, in oil, watercolor or pastel, I observe the place: mood, shapes, color and
spatial relationships. I reflect on how the sense of place affects my own interior landscape." - Marsha Connell
