About Gale Marcus

Thank you for visiting my portfolio.  I am a local artist, having lived in the Washington D.C. area for all of my life.  I spent my childhood in Virginia, moved across the river to Washington when I went to work, and then to Maryland where I am today.  I started college as an art major at Virginia Commonwealth University, but decided to switch to something more practical, so I went to work in television.  My true love has always been art though, so for the past 20 years I've gone back to it, taking classes on and off at Glen Echo, and exhibiting my paintings in several of their art shows.  

All of my work is done in oils.  My interest is primarily in color with a touch of impressionism, and ideally, I like a painting to tell a story.
