Marsha Hamby Savage

“It teaches me to observe value, color, atmosphere and light. My favorite saying is “It’s the journey, not the destination.” I believe the journey of the mind is as important as the journey of the feet! My paintings are mostly the natural landscape, with a few still life, flowers and people thrown in occasionally. These paintings are executed in oil, acrylic or soft pastels.” Marsha Savage
