Marcia Schwan Abstract

Marcia Solomon Schwan was an artist who resided in Tidewater for nearly 70 years. 

Born May 12, 1930 in Baltimore, Maryland to Dr. Samuel Solomon and

Sara S. Solomon, Marcia graduated from the local Park School

and in 1951, from Goucher College with a Bachelor of Arts degree

in English. Art was a defining element in Marcia's life - a passion that began

 in childhood, continued through her school years and winning first

 prize in a competition hosted by The Walters Art Museum in Baltimore,

 and endured across the decades. While painting daily in her home art

studio, Marcia audited classes at Old Dominion University taught by

the late artists Charles Sibley and Norman Goodwin, who became 

friends as well as mentors. Marcia developed cherished friendships 

with numerous fellow artists locally, and some of her works were presented

alongside theirs at museum and gallery exhibitions.
