THE ART OF MARCY AXELBAND

Welcome to my website.  As you can see, my name is Marcy and I am a self-taught
artist, or, in popular parlance, an outsider artist.

I begin each piece of my work the same way - by layering the canvas with
multiple coats of paint (both dark and light), splotching the paint in various
areas and then covering it with one tone.  I repeat this several times.
    

I am currently working on pieces for a July 2011 exhibit (in tandem with Kevin Anderson) which will represent The Seven Deadly Sins and Seven Cardinal Virtues.  I thought it would be interesting to chronicle my process unfolding, so I will photograph the work every couple of weeks until completion.  What you are seeing here is the first few layers of work.
