"I see the world through an emotional lens, and I use the medium of oil paint to share what I experience: movement of light, texture, and color."
Marsha Massih is an award-winning oil painter, exhibiting her landscapes and still life oil paintings throughout the Northeast and abroad for over 20 years. In 2012, she received a cash award at the prestigious Chelsea International Fine Art Competition. In 2013, Marsha had a solo show of Hudson Valley regional landscapes and was invited to exhibit at ‘Art Along the Hudson’ sponsored by the Dutchess County Arts Council. The Allied Artists of America, Audubon Artists, the National Association of Women Artists, Artists Fellowship, and the Hudson Valley Artists Association have presented her paintings throughout the years. In the Spring of 2015, Marsha was included among a select group of regional artists invited to exhibit figurative work in ‘Being Human’, a show at the Art Society of Kingston. As a plein air painter, Marsha is regularly invited to the annual 'Plein-Air Paint Out' at the Mohonk Mountain House sponsored by Wired Gallery as well as at the Historic Huguenot Street 'Artists On The Street' Event. In July 2017 Marsha, along with four other distinguished artists, was chosen to be part of Mavericks at Lace Mill Galleries in Kingston, NY, and in October 2017 she had a successful two-person show at FRED in High Falls NY. In March 2018 Unison Arts Center in New Paltz NY displayed Marsha's most recent seascapes in a 4-person group show, and her flower still life paintings were featured in the 'Flowers in February' show at Mark Gruber Gallery.
Marsha and her artwork have been featured in several publications over the years, including the Chronogram, Art Times, Kingston Times and Almanac, New Paltz Times, and Lines from the League, an Art Students League of New York publication.
