MARCIE SCUDDER
ARTIST STATEMENT:
I live in a place that is quiet...where there's space to breathe...where it's easy to allow my mind to rest.
When visiting my daughter in New Orleans, I struggle to find that same sense of peace. It takes time for my eyes to focus. I'm too quickly lost in the sensation of noise and color.
This - here - is a collection of moments and details and simple vignettes. It's what captured my attention in the midst of the muddle.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Marcie Scudder’s artist's journey began almost two decades ago as a means of slowing down and recording the world thru her camera’s lens.
As a self-taught photographic fine artist, writer and yogini – she believes in the transformative healing powers of daily practice as a means of connecting to the spirit that resides within.
By yoking together the ancient teachings of yoga with her passion and love for the animal and natural world, Marcie’s art acts as a visual and verbal expression of simplicity, silence, solitude and self.
Like life itself, her art is an ever-evolving process. She likens it to a vinyasa yoga practice, a continuous connection between movement and breath.
Currently, Marcie lives and works in Stowe, VT.
From her treetop studio, she finds inspiration in the changing seasons and majestic views of the mountains.
