About Marcy

I love seeing people tap into their own creativity. I help people find their creative voice, for mindfulness, to begin a new creative hobby or to further their artistic skills. I mostly work at my teaching studio with my business partner and fellow teaching artist Cheryl Tuttle. We both teach clay, painting, jewelry making and fiber arts. Our new studio has begun to create a small nurturing community of creative individuals of all ages.

I am also available for one on one creative coaching and can help other artist to reach their artistic goals. Send me a message and we can work out a plan for you. I can help you with things like entering your first juried show, finding a gallery or putting together a portfolio.

I also enjoy creating content for my YouTube channel where I share artsy content with a growing community of global learners.

I love interacting with people of all ages and seeing their artistic growth. Watching them follow their own vision and tap into their innate creativity.

I started teaching children at my non-profit art center and later became a teaching artist serving two local after school programs in the Middletown, Ct area. After a few years I began teaching adult workshops and children's classes at a large non-profit art center and adults at my co-operative. My teaching grew and I found I loved my students and interacting with them and seeing their joy at learning to create. I am on the faculty at The Guilford Art Center in Guilford, Ct, where I currently teach via Zoom, I have been a member and faculty at Wesleyan Potters, I have been teaching artist at the New Britain Museum of American Art, New Britain Ct and the Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford, Ct.

I have studied art at the university level and taken countless workshops and hours of continuing education hours beyond that. I am a certified Grumbacher Acrylic painting instructor.

About the lesson

I ask what they are hoping to get out of lessons and what they want to learn to draw and paint. I use traditional drawing and painting methods to work with their preferred subject matter.

I like to say I've worked with students from age 3 to 93. I work primarily with adults but also teach children. My new facility has children's classes planned for this summer.

Look for someone who works in the medium(s) that you want to learn. Learn skills from your teacher but always be yourself and know your own unique style will emerge. Embrace it and allow it to grow and develop into your own unique way of expression.

I recently had the opportunity to visit Florence, Italy and was able to see some of the gorgeous art and famous Museums there. It was beyond beautiful! I went to Florence 2 times in 2025 and was able to see so many Iconic works of art that I was only able to dream about seeing for many years. I hope to return to Italy in the future, there is such an abundance of art and culture and as I am of Italian heritage it feels like home to me. All 4 of my Grandparents emigrated from Italy so it truly feels like a second home to me.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What they would like to accomplish with their art, painting for enjoyment, travel log, small shows. It can be for just the pure joy of painting and personal expression! There is no wrong reason.

I worked with Marcy at the SWAGG After school program. During that time she proved to be the consummate professional, always putting in extra effort to see that our kids received high-quality arts education. She is extremely dedicated, and I highly recommend her for any situation in which she can work to spread a love for the arts to children. She's fantastic!

Marcy and I are both key members of Wesleyan Potters in Middletown, Ct. I have not only had the pleasure of seeing many of Marcy's beautiful art creations in various stages, but have had the wonderful experience of creating art side by side with her in the Wesleyan Potters jewelry studio. She is kind, fun, and has great vision whether she is working in ceramic , metal , or Painting. Her vast imagination allows her to go beyond....in everything she does.
