Marcia Reid
Marcia's works are primarily representations of her country in the "Women's Tingari" series and women's sacred places between Kintore and Kiwirrkurra communities in the Western Desert in Central Australia.
Her people performed important ceremonies at these places and told stories of traveling ancestors who in the past gathered at these places to rest, sing, and dance. Marcia's colores chooses tend to reflect more traditional pigments.
Her sense of design and movement demonstrates the close connection between the images she paints and the landscape. Like her mother Joylene, Marcia prides herself on her stippling technique. Marcia and her son live in their home community but also visit Alice Springs often.
