MEET THE ARTIST

Michelle Marcuse, a South African American artist, resides in Philadelphia, PA. Her work in sculpture and drawings focuses on artistic awareness within transcultural experiences. She encourages viewers to reevaluate the sometimes-overlooked complexities and nuances often not experienced through our digitally overloaded viewpoints today.

Marcuse obtained a Bachelor of Design from The Shenkar College of Engineering and Design in Israel and a BFA in painting at the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia. She has participated in both solo and group exhibitions at venues such as the Corcoran School, BLAM Projects, Taller Boricua, Little Haitian Cultural Center, Art Life Foundation, and Restart Museum. Her work is in The Philadelphia Art Museum collection.

Among her achievements are a CFEVA fellowship, shortlist Joan Mitchell Foundation 2021, nomination for The Pew Fellowship in the Arts, and an installation at The Philadelphia International Airport Art Program.
